Everything blended very well together. I've got to "exercise" with disipline so that my "muscles" will not atrophy. Thanks Sarah. smooches, Larie Great introduction, it really pulled me into your analogy. Everything blended very well together.

I’ve got to “exercise” with disipline so that my “muscles” will not atrophy.

It reminds me of my grandparents, now 97 and 93 and married for over 65 years! His blue eyes still look at her with love and his hands still hold her cold arthritic ones on top of the dinner table and in the car. I love this post.

Sometimes I wish I had awakened sooner.. but that's not my story. My story has a different plot. He awakened me in my middle years to this finished work of Christ in me. He's opened my eyes to the greatest love story ever told.. I will never be the same. It has affected everything, my life, my marriage, my parenting, my relationships. I write to tell about it. I am over halfway through my life.... I am more fulfilled than ever, not because of anything I have done.... but because I've come to know Him, deeply, intimately, personally. It's changed everything. After Christmas I will begin writing of my journey out of a religious life into grace. I hear Him calling me to it. I hope you will stop by my blog and visit, sometime.
