We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
"Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement.
One fails forward toward success."

C. S. Lewis


"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it,
but because by it I see everything else."

C. S. Lewis




I have come home at last!
This is my real country!
I belong here.
This is the land
I have been looking for all my life,
though I never knew it till now...
Come further up, come further in!

― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”


J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring


“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

The man you were, the man I am,
the legacy we want to leave.
It's harder now to daily stand
because you're gone, and now I grieve.

'Tis 21, the years this March,
that I have walked this trail alone
without my father's loving arch,
whose words could bless the ways I've grown.

I pray I honor him each day
by living a life that's full of Grace.
I pray I'll finally hear him say,
"I'm proud of you. You've kept your place."

The tears we cry are known in Heaven.
The pain we feel within His Wings
is cherished by He, Who Side so riven,
can help us, Whose compassion sings.

"Dear Dad, I miss you, but I'm proud
of who you've lived your life to be,
a man, who served the Lord, and plowed,
for one day with Him, you I'll see.
"
