“I have realized I have had a full life, but I’ve lived a life of loss. I have no “life-long friends”, just memories of friends that have changed with moves, first from my dad’s career and then from my church affiliations and dramas. Even so, I have realized that God has been a constant even if my paths, sins, and methods of pursuing Him have been sincere but inconstant and irregular.”
You broke me into tears here. May the Lord bless your persistence, comfort your hurts, and be ever your God the friend of Man.

"We fight our demons all our life more or less valiantly, but in the end we are under the mercies of providence from beginning to end."
This rang very true for me. It is a constant struggle, and the mercies poured out on me are much more than I deserve.
Steve, this was profound and deeply moving. Thank you.
Thank you, Steve. May God grant you many, many years!
Steve, this is beautiful. Thank you.
The most honest reflection of a life that I have ever read. Thank you Steve.
