A Hopeful Spirit
Years passed before I was given the opportunity to write as I continued maintaining the website and taking over the Spiritual Sisters maintenance. After what seemed like an eternity to me change began to occur, and like Orville Dewey "A new day rose upon me. It was as if another sun had risen into the sky; the heavens were indescribably brighter, and the earth fairer; and that day has gone on brightening to the present hour. I have known the other joys of life, I suppose, as much as most people; I have known art and beauty, music and gladness; I have known friendship and love and family ties; but it is certain that until we see God in the world—God in the bright and boundless universe—we never know the highest joy."
Writing of my love for my God brings me such great pleasure. Whether my words benefit others, I cannot say. But I can say they benefit me and I can be hopeful that in some way they can make a small difference for someone else. I fantasize about Orville Dewey's "highest joy" because I know of no yardstick which measures joy, but am satisfied with never experiencing the pinnacle--I always want to live in expectation of more.

Back in 1998 when my first website went up, I wanted to write pieces for it. Even though I was never going to be a gifted writer, I still needed to convey to others how different this world truly can be if one allows God to be actively involved in their life. As my son-in-law built Spirit-Finding Hope in a World of Uncertainty, I sat at the keyboard ready to tell of the difference God had made in my life. But the words did not come. Many months later, they still were not coming and as I labored over the website on a daily basis, I was still not allowed to express my own gratitude for this Living God.
