Greetings friends,
I have returned from Mayo clinic and now know that I have the bulbar palsy version of ALS. My family was aware of this as a possibility and we are now allowing this new knowledge to reshape our lives a bit. In essence very little has changed. My God loves and cares for me through his personal touch of love and His touch of love through others. My kind and loving husband is still flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone. My beautiful family of 8 children are still the treasures of my life. Now with 4 of the children married we are blessed with 2 wonderful son-in-laws and 2 beautiful inside and out daughter-in-laws. From their sacrament of marriage, we all love and embrace 5 precious grandchildren, with one on the way. The out pouring of love and prayers from my 4 sisters, as well as friends, has been incredible. This loving ministry to me has found me coming up short in the loving ministry I have offered to others at times. These lovers of me are teaching me to love more deeply with more of my heart. For this I am filled with gratitude. Maybe this intertwining of love will be the very air we breathe in heaven. And I feel also the love of my God, so tenderly present here with me, sharing my grief as it ebbs and quiets into peace. All of you that I have mentioned in this blog are a facet of God to me and rare in beauty. I love you all. Love and grace in Christ; Lynn

Why a blog?
I have been journeying with personal physical symptoms the past year. The cause for these symptoms will be determined at Mayo clinic next week. During this year and it's challenges, fears, and uncertainties, I have thought now and again of the possibility of having a blog to share my experiences in part, but more to invite you to share your insights of heaven with me as I share mine with you.
During this year the reality of heaven has come to the forefront of my being at set times to give comfort, strength, and direction. A diagnosis of a serious illness would make the reality of heaven more tangible for me as it has in moments of reflection and questioning this past year. I now hope that a sharing on heaven would glorify the God of heaven, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, while bringing hope, comfort, and direction to us now on earth. Peace and joy in Christ, Lynn
