ROAD TO NOWHERE!

A muddled mind can be a side-effect of a stroke. An occipital lobe stroke can increase the muddlng. Factor in amyloid build up....you get the "up, up, up idea. Weariness looms. To muster my energy, hubby tries to encourage movement.

Yesterday, he said we could find the "Road to Nowhere" for a 20 minute walk.

We found the sign............

...but that's all we found!

There was a locked gate across the road. No parking area was anywhere close. It seemed, as the sign said, a broken promise f sorts for my walk.

As Son, J said, "It seems the road took you nowhere." I did not laugh. 

Maybe my mind was too muddled/concerned about backing down the narrow hill.

I'm sure there are more life lessons in these events "somewhere"----Yesterday, my mental condition was too confused a state to figure them out.

But today, Jesus, the One who is "the way," can refer to pathways of life or the journey we are on as we choose to trust Him, as we "walk" even when our mind is mixed-up!

BOOK----UNFINISHED.

The verdict is still out on the rating of this Charles Martin Book. It's not his "typical" writing style. 

Of  course, I've only read his fiction and this is my first non-fiction by Martin. Plus, I have not quite finished it,

His meticulous research is delivered in a very readable form. Martin is a seasoned storyteller and this strength shines in the pages I have read so far......and I am just beginning this journey with What if I't's True?: a storyteller's Journey with Jesus.

One jewel I have already discovered as Martin asks the question, "Who is this Jesus?" Jesus Himself said, I am the way, the truth and the life. (John 14:16)

If Jesus is the way, then He's taking us some where. 

But where? I believe the answer is to HIs Father. (p.15)

One reviewer for Christianity Today said that Martin won him over with his sincere love for Jesus.

As I continue to read this author's journey through God's Word, I sensed that Valentine's Day would be the right time to post this author's work focusing on his Savior. 

Valentine's Day--a day of celebrating Love.

"Greater love hath no man that He lay down his life for His friends." (John 15:13)

That fact stands. 

"Jesus loves me, this I know"--- even if I don't finish reading the book today!
