Don't get up, I will find my way out: Wreckage

Wreckage

Over the the last 50 years, I have left a lot of rubble and wreckage in my wake. Lots of my family and friends have been caught up in that and have had to live with the ruin of relationships, my emotional absence and general dysfunction. Part of the process of rebuilding who I am includes coming to grips with the damage I have caused and being accountable whenever it is safe to do so. If you, the reader, are one of those that has been impacted by this, feel free to express that to me without fear of retribution or censure.

Sometime next year (many months from now) I will be starting my quest to find as many of you as I can and expressing this in person and in detail. Until that time comes, please know that you are on my heart and on my mind.

Gratitude

As I wend my way through the fields, fens and forests of life, I find myself changing - oh not in large obvious ways for the most part, but in gentle, subtle ways (well sometimes large, obvious and PAINFUL ways). I take with me a little bit of every place I have been. Of all the influences in my life, by far the greatest is my Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ. His grace and mercy are the reason I am still breathing and "wending." From Him, I endeavor to take the most "bits" and apply the most change.

Of great importance in my life is my beautiful wife, Emma. She is truly the love of my life and my dearest treasure. She too has displayed enormous grace and mercy in our relationship. Without her at my side I would drift aimlessly indeed. She carries my love and my pride with her wherever she goes.
