My Grandmother Influenced Me So Deeply.

I Live In A Village Where People Still Care About Each Other, Largely.

I Remember The First Time I Held My Book, My First Book In My Hands. I Cannot Tell You How It Moved Me.

Let's Just Say That I Was Raised By My Grandparents.

Writing Is A Way Of Processing Our Lives. And It Can Be A Way Of Healing.

I've Got A Lot To Download On Your Mercy And Grace. I've Always Rushed Up To You And Dumped Whatever It Was And Hurried Away, Fascinated By My Own Busyness. I Want To Turn All This Over To You Slowly, Carefully, Examining Every Fragment As I Pass It Off, So There'll Never Be Any Question About It Again. Every Time I've Dumped And Run, I've Nearly Always Run Back And Snatched It Out Of Your Hands. Help Me In This.......right Now, I'm Certain Of Only One Thing - That You Love Us, And That's Where We All Have To Begin.
