There is something frantic, that wrapped its-self around my unsuspecting mind this morning. When I looked in the mirror I half expected to see a reflection that was not my own. I feel I have the mind of middle aged brunette from the 60's. If my body followed suite I would have curlers in and crazy cat eye glasses.

A bit frightening, don't you think. Sure am glad my outside appearance doesn't suffer such a drastic change as my mind.

Things are settling down now. My startled-ness was a reaction to my sudden realization of how much I have to accomplish. It has slowly, over the past few hours sifted out into something quite good.


I think the word is motivation.

A Love That Runs Deep.


Today I sat in a small cabin. My grandparents bought it about a year ago, when they found out Papa's brain tumor had returned. We were told he had three months to live.


I remember the day Jenn called me. I was sitting in the Great Hall with Hannah Murphy and Ruth. They watched as my face melted into a blank stare devoid of the slightest emotion. I can still hear Ruth's voice ring out the question "Jonlyn, are you alright?" There was nothing I could say. I was hardly breathing much less forming sentences.


You see three months is a good amount of time to Cherish. The only problem, the thing that was wrenching at my heart was the fact that the next three months of my life were devoted to Covenant College in Lookout Mountain GA.


Today a year away from that place I talked with him. Thom Hughes, my wise grandfather. I learned a little more about his and Mimi's life. It has been a beautiful one to say the least. It has been inspiring....
