References to Poe here? I like that.

I take it you're 'an over thinker' of sorts. It all seems to close for comfort for me your thoughts on paper.
Trying to achieve and belong are gifts

"The conditions may be in flux, but you don't have to be" .....so good and true.

thanks for the honesty of this, guy. and thanks for the reminder of groundedness in the midst of both moments of lowness and moments of abundance. There are both in the past and in the year to come, and they both demand our hearts to be anchored in God and not adrift into those differing waters, as you so eloquently point out! thanks.

All the words matter in this writing, but "May you cause it to be" sings of our will to be leaders in all our words, steps and actions.
From the Threatts, Johnson, and Mitchell families to you and yours Merry Christmas, Guy

Sounds like grooves to a rock ballad you think? besides I've got Keith
Richards tunes playing here.
Really like the last four lines.

I like the words 'wine and dine' Take a sip of my use of these shared words.

You would be one for which the meaning certainly could resonate quiet loudly. I understand. Thank you for your kind words.

For seeking "the ghosts of those I still love" brings me to a place of which I like to call pleasured sadness. Uplifting and meaningful words as always from you.

Thanks, Jeff. That line has me, too. Still working through faith that at it's truest core doesn't shrink in doubt, but blooms from it.

Thought provoking, in great ways. The monotone line has me for now, I've been known to speak monotone and have discovered that I dislike that habit in others.

Thank you, Guy!

Gerald - I saw your comment on the Lady Elgin ferry sinking which you posted a 2+ years ago. I'm pretty certain me must be related, because Edward Spencer was my great, great grandfather. I'm curious to figure out our connection.

You don't know how much I needed to hear this. Just having this discussion last night with a friend. Interesting enough you had crossed my mind yesterday. I do often think about you, your family and your story you told at my church a few years ago. Sounds weird but for awhile now I keep having this feeling I need to tell you my story. I journal all the time. You have definitely inspired me to write a book one day:)
Thank you Guy! Have a blessed day!

Beautiful words, always appropriate for Lent, for death, for those of us left behind.

"....but in curse-filled rebuke demanding reason for a violation." This hit me like a ton of bricks. This entire post- so powerful. I just don't have the words.

God's Sovereignty - yes,this......I had already read Jerry Sittser's book "A Grace Disguised" when my brother died. and while I certainly didn't and don't understand God's Sovereignty (If i could understand it, would he be sovereign?), I still understood i had to cling to it. The day after he died when he was 49 and I was 57, my cousin sent me these verses from Psalm 73. I clung to them.

Psalm 73: 26 & 28: My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever....28 But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.

I determined then to be open about my grief and to tell how God would be with us. And it saved me in so many ways.

You also say, "Grief is a life-long movement, which I believe holds the potential to reorient us to God in a most powerful way." I have found this to be true in the pain and in grace-filled ways.

I will look forward to your next book. I am reading your first one now.

Re: When Hope Poisoned the Water Sweet — GUY MARTIN DELCAMBRE

this was beautiful. I came over here from Deeper Story. I have spent time in the "lost hope" world. Thankfully, even though God felt far away, I knew He was there and gradually I began to feel his presence again. This is by far one of the best desciptions of lost hope I have read that seems to describe how I felt. We are are actually seeing again the light at the "end of the tunnel"- ever so small and I've stopped thinking it must be a train. I'll be hanging out here for awhile

Great piece, Diana. Very happy to share it!
I received the previous comment in my inbox so I'm not sure either.

I could swear I left a 'thank you' comment here yesterday, Guy. THANK YOU for this kind shout-out - it means a lot to me.

Thank you so much, Guy. That means a lot to me - an honor to be included in your weekend list.

Guy, this is beautifully written. This is an issue that is coming up in our family, and though my history tells me to greet it one way, Love tells me to choose another. That tension is uncomfortable, but necessary. Living in the in between is a tricky business, right? Thank you for these words.

Thanks, Matt. For awhile, I felt the same. It took a few days of planned time away, zero electronics and intentional practice. Stillness and rest proved to be more difficult than I anticipated. Lots of wisdom from Nouwen and a book by Mark Buchanan called, The Rest of God. All the best to you in your hunt!
