Curve Balls

Life throws us curve balls from time to time. I have been generally fortunate in that I've had very few curve balls come at me. Whether this was because of me, God, or luck I don't know but all things change. Very recently I received a couple of big curve balls. One was a calling and the other is not mine to air, or not mine alone.

I recently felt called to the service of God. I'm not sure what that will mean or where it will lead me but that seems to be my calling. I hope I have the strength, wisdom and fortune to do well on that path. I only know that I shall need those people who matter in my life more now than ever before, the living, the dead, the old and the new. Some give me strength and comfort from their memory and others grant it to me from their presence. All have loved me for who I am and that is a blessing beyond price. Hopefully who I become is someone they can continue to love but even if it's not I always have the memory of that love and that is a source of strength that can carry me through a great deal.
