Good grief, Deb, again, you flatten me. The music...!!! You are digging so deeply into the raw and gnarly human condition....it is amazing how human beings keep going through all the chaos...broken family, broken hearts, lost love, financial and emotional chaos, the shameful mistreatment of dear animal friends. I am in the middle of all this at age 73. Life never gets less complex as you get older...but I hold fast to God and His Son. I am more stable than I used to be...but the written word is God's gift to me and to you, along with your masterful photography. Please keep pouring it out, you are needed in this world and I am blessed to know you and experience your profound work. W.E.W.

No. Life never gets less complex it seems. I can't tell you, Wendy, what it means to get a comment on this. It is genuinely keeping me going and helping fuel the process of writing this. I hold you in prayer daily. Thank you so very much for your support. ox

Well, Deb, you make me cry more than any other writer on here…and tears, for me, are a sign of Holy Spirit’s dear presence. I cling to Him and I know He works through my fellow Sisters and Brothers in Christ…Thank you. W.E.W.

Oh Wendy, I don’t know what to say. It makes everything I’m hearing to write — that much more impacting and real. I, too, feel emotional in the process. I thank God for the spiritual connection with you. Thank you. ox

Deb, I hope my tears do not freak you out. Some people drink, some smoke dope or use drugs, some act out, some scream and yell...and I cry! Tears are a steam vent for my intense emotions. Feeling deeply is both a blessing and a curse, as I go so deeply with things, it can overwhelm others at times. I do not mean to hurl anything in your direction, I just feel the power of many of the songs you choose in your writing pieces, so evocative and feeling. You adding the gnarly and deeply emotional story woven in, that is a tempestuous combination for someone like me... I am more stable than I was in younger days...but I still feel deeply and that is my core, along with my faith in God and His Son. Keep doing this, Deb, it works and speaks so powerfully. I am blessed to know you, a Sister in Christ. W.E.W.
