Thanks for sharing your stories and Bill's story here. I happen to enjoy "all that Jesus stuff!"
Also, I was tickled that you included Brandi Carlile's song, that is one of my all time favorites! If you haven't checked out her memoir, Broken Horses, that's also worth a read.
Love this!: “The mercy narrative is a love story. In that story, we are the beloved because God is God. We do not have to achieve it. We cannot be robbed of it.“. I am SO grateful to have been called by God as a young child to be aware of the gifts he gives to us daily from the air we breathe, to the food we eat, to the bed we sleep in! My heart ,back then and to this day, is so overwhelmed and overflowing with the gratitude because it could have easily been another path I walked in my life. At 62 my eyes shed tears for the overwhelming love that God has for each of us—and Bill’s story is such an example…I’m so glad he heard that voice within him… my prayer and wish for everyone is that they would listen and hear him as Bill did. Beautiful story. 💜
Jacquie, thank you for talking about the gratitude at the heart of your faith walk. You offer a wonderful example of a life lived in response to God's love.
So often, I encounter the word "beloved" in your writing. Each time I do, I am reminded of that sweet gift of my truest identity. Thank you. I am beloved; that's my mercy story.
My addiction was sugar related
That s common for diabetic people. I asked God to take that addiction. He responded by taking my craving away. Thank you Jake.
Update the enlarged parathyroid wasn't cancerous. God's peace Jake.
'I can't. He can. I think I will let him.' condensed version of the first three steps. A grateful recovering Al Anon.

I've got to grab a copy of Broken Horses. Thanks for the lead, Christine! And I know that you enjoy "all that Jesus stuff!"
