We look back and thank God and We look forward and trust God
The miracles of life happened The miracles of life are still happening We look back and thank God We look forward and trust God The hammer of faith Moves in stillness An episode of brokenness Brings forth the potency of faith Sheltering pain There is a way to gain Faith still moves mountains The fire of faith moves in beauty As it burns through any circumstance State...

Something To Look Forward To, Part Vi
...Though in closing, it must be said they did not remain there for long. A damned Yankee wed to a Reb? The locals all declared it wrong. Like many others they went west, and made Colorado there home, the family lives there to his day, ‘Abner’ a family name well-known. …and ‘April’ too....

Something To Look Forward To, Part V
...For the remainder of the war he kept to himself, since he knew making friends set you up for pain, there was naught to look forward too. The months passed and Lee surrendered, the war came to its brutal end, Emmet did not go to his farm, but to Tennesee he did wend. He found himself in a hollow, one he’d come to know...

And after their third time out there April and Abner were engaged, not coincidently there was a new baby on the way. They would have kept on going back but orders came up from the south, Sherman did march for Atlanta, their unit was needed...

Something To Look Forward Too, Part Iii
After moments she shook her head, then moved over to the brick hearth, a strew cooked over glowing coals, she threw more spuds in for her part. Then came over to the main room, and sat herself down on a chair Ooposite where Emmet stretched out, her piercing glaze did find him there. She said, “You’ve got a lot of nerve, coming here to...

...Emmet just sat down on a bench, And gratefully took his boots off, Just stretched himself out there to rest, for the moment it was enough. The woman seemed confused by this, it was clear she expected rape, but when the Yankee did nothing she quietly made an escape.

See now! It is a new dance, We have shaken off the dark, And sashayed into the dawn, Though our memories of the past Our remembrance of days gone, Are ever present in our being We step forward with promise And design new tapestries, We sail out boats on sea and sky The horizon is nothing to fear But a quest to anticipate Look forward....

What I Will Look Forward To and More
What I Will Look Forward To and More To a great future I had looked forward, And up for me many things He stored; Many smiles, By the miles, That includes love given from my Lord. Jim Horn Went to choir practice last night and Paul who is 90 years old had forgotten practice. He said that he had gotten carried...
