That fits with a lot of my thoughts along these lines that instead of 'escaping' something it's a path to travel. <br /><br />Again, thanks for the thoughts and comments all.

I was just recently considering the fading imprints of previous human efforts as I snowshoed along the abandoned roadbed of a bygone highway. <br /><br />As I post this, I have just heard that a dear friend is in the hospital with potential heart issues. I myself am only a couple of months beyond having had medical procedures to prevent potential health disasters. While my own prognosis is considered excellent, I am aware of how close I was to something far more grim. Even so, I don't consider it "borrowed time", but rather an extension of Grace; a treasury of liveliness and time in which I can continue to pursue the Lord's purposes. I will not hold this knowledge, or the message of your own words carelessly. Thanks again for taking the time to journal these vital thoughts.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487751155239479599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14456380.post-69443831380301491792017-04-17T09:42:46.602-07:002017-04-17T09:42:46.602-07:00Thanks Ole and Dan, I'm getting better again. ...Thanks Ole and Dan, I'm getting better again.

At just this past moment, I was reflecting on my memories of my railroad, the NYNH&H whose 4 track main I grew up with and whose wonderful named trains I rode never thinking that they would not be around forever. I was speaking with a man of my age,77, this morning and he said he is in wonder of how he learns something new every day about life. A mystery seeming to reveal more and more of itself to us as we age. I wish that your sufferings be eased, your way smooth and all your signals green. Oleoamundsen@aolcomnoreply@blogger.com
