Today in The days in the life

So yesterday was Independence Day. I thought about the brave souls that have fought valiantly for our country. I wish that I could have met each and every one of them and thank them all for their sacrifices. I know that I will meet them when I get called home. My Pa was in Ww2, and he walked all across the country with 60lbs of gear upon his back for the Infantry. He's never talked about the war at any point that I've ever heard from him when I was growing up. About all I've ever seen from it from his is an old army helmet that he kept in his closet. I don't pretend to know the things that he's seen that are locked behind the stories in his mind. His friends and comrades, people that he would have given his life for along with the ideals of our country. Those images and stories are all locked up tightly inside his mind and they have never come out. That I think is why I've never known fully the Dad that I call my own. We have never held a legitimate conversation where I have felt as an equal to him. However, I am his son and I have his blood running through my veins, and ultimately I have been made whole by my Creator, Father God. I love my Father despite the separation between us. He will be 90 on Monday, and I don't know how much longer he will be here upon this earth, nor do I know how much longer I shall myself be. I have let everyone in the family know how I feel about it (That I love him) on my facebook page, hoping that they will relay it to him because I can't speak to him directly. I know in his heart that he loves me and he knows that I love him and that is enough for the story to be told. I have figured out something through Father God's grace about my writing. What He has shown me is that the way that I am doing it now is His way. What that Way is so very simple. I am handwriting the scenes out for my story and that leaves me the ponderings to fill in the gaps as it were. I need to do some research about the cities that I am writing about. Then I started a new file on my old laptop titled Scene builder, and that will be for every future writing that is novel length that I will ever write. I feel as though I am not only on the right track, but perhaps the best track in my writing. I need to fill in the gaps a lot for the stories that I have written but inevitably they shall be. I have prayed humbly for the effort of The Lord's blessing to be able to make a living at my writing, which is a blessing from Him that I can return to Him for all His glory. Cheers, Cbj
