If it's possible, I go somewhere new, even if just for a day. In other words, I stop trying to be a writer and play a while.(less)

How To Accept MS–Again

Starting a Blog Post



Blogging about How To Accept MS? Not Now!

I didn’t plan to blog about my Multiple Sclerosis until October. The Gold Doubloons, book three in my Jerome Mysteries trilogy, is due to my publisher mid-September. This blog was supposed to wait until that book was finished. But instead of plotting clues, I’ve been in bed for the last eight days. All I can think about is my MS.

Long a fan of Miss Silver mysteries, I was disappointed by this story. I wondered if it was an early book. I found the characters to be flat, the plot line to drag, and the ending to the and admitted deus ex machina. Wentworth has written many other ...more

“If it is true that we not only are the Beloved, but also have to become the Beloved; if it is true that we not only are children of God, but also have to become children of God; if it is true that we not only are brothers and sisters, but also have to become brothers and sisters . . . if all that is true, how then can we get a grip on this process of becoming? If the spiritual life is not simply a way of being, but also a way of becoming, what then is the nature of this becoming?”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Yes, there is that voice, the voice that speaks from above and from within and that whispers softly or declares loudly: “You are my Beloved, on you my favor rests.” It certainly is not easy to hear that voice in a world filled with voices that shout: You are no good, you are ugly; you are worthless; you are despicable, you are nobody—unless you can demonstrate the opposite.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Am I afraid to die? I am every time I let myself be seduced by the noisy voices of my world telling me that my "little life" is all I have and advising me to cling to it with all my might. But when I let these voices move to the background of my life and listen to that small soft voice calling me the Beloved, I know that there is nothing to fear and that dying is the greatest act of love, the act that leads me into the eternal embrace of my God whose love is everlasting.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“real care means the willingness to help each other in making our brokenness into the gateway to joy.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Life of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular World

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“When we claim and constantly reclaim the truth of being the chosen ones, we soon discover within ourselves a deep desire to reveal to others their own chosenness. Instead of making us feel that we are better, more precious or valuable than others, our awareness of being chosen opens our eyes to the chosenness of others. That is the great joy of being chosen: the discovery that others are chosen as well. In the house of God there are many mansions. There is a place for everyone - a unique, special place. Once we deeply trust that we ourselves are precious in God's eyes, we are able to recognize the preciousness of others and their unique places in God's heart.”
