Some hard questions are shrouded in mystery
too deep for human minds to understand;
the hidden answers aren't meant to be unlocked
until the soul is ready to see life whole.
Every good thing has its shadow
and every dark night is the back side
of a new day waiting to dawn.
Marilyn Morgan King
The above quote is from an old devotional that I had never completed. Amazingly, the place I left off was just what I needed to see at this time of my life. How cool is that?
You see, I have been asking 'why' an awful lot lately as I try to run my race. That question has been triggered, not only by my own frustrations and setbacks, but by what I see going on in the lives of several friends, and even the world at large. More often than not I have felt like throwing in the towel and taking the easy way out, but then, on second thought, there is no easy way out.
So I keep on keeping on, trusting in a God I know loves me (and you too) so much that He sent His one and only son, Jesus, to suffer and die the most cruel of deaths so that our sins would be forgiven and we could enjoy eternal life. And as I plod along, I feel buoyed by the thought of that crowd of witnesses in the Heavenlies who are watching us run our race and cheering us on (Hebrews 12:1-2).

SINCERELY WRONG: An Improbable Journey
This book is my testimony. It is a story of the search for roots, purpose, and significance that led me to embrace New Age and ocult doctrines, and of the improbable journey that led me from the occult to Christianity at a time when I was convinced that I had all the answers and was no longer seeking.
