To my Triond friends…. it’s been a while. I am currently home recovering from my second bout with pulmonary embolism. I’m aware how serious this condition can be – I could have easily died either time. Apparently, there is still more for me to do here and God has granted me grace to live out my days and fulfill my purpose.

What is it that protects me
From the enemy’s attack
What strengthens and sustains me
Providing what I lack
Keeps my faith from wavering
That I might win my race
A gift that’s freely given;
It’s God amazing grace
When temptations and life’s troubles
Rise and try to trip me up
Cause me to get off the narrow path
My progress, to disrupt
I know that my own strength
Is not enough for me to stand
I need God to uphold me
With His powerful right hand
So when you see me smiling
And I seem so full of joy
It’s not that the enemy has not tried
To steal, kill and destroy
But there’s a hedge around me
And a Savior to plead my case
The only reason I’m still pressing on
Is God’s amazing grace
