Greetings... Below is the test of a prayer I've been praying for a while now.  Perhaps you'll begin to pray this (or something like this) yourself. Pace to you, Friends... Daver -- Lord Jesus Christ …   I long to be and become…   1/ Wholly Alive (that is, Wholly Martyr-like until my martyrdom in “this current Earth-life” is carried-out).       2/ Thoroughly Converted .   3/ Thoroughly Surrendered to Y-you (that is, Brought by Y-you to that Eternal Time, Space, and Place , where I’ve completely yielded myself to Y-you, where I’ve seen and offered myself to Y-you as Wholly Y-yours , and… where I’ve begun to relate—intimately and unreservedly—to Y-you as My Everything ). 4/ Thoroughly Carved, Shaped, and Transformed ( Artisanally ) into Loving-heartfulness [ see definition below ] (that is, into Y-your Loving-image and -likeness ) that I might indeed be and become Love Loving .   Loving-Heartfulness, a definition… ...

Greetings, Friends ! It's been a LONG year for me... A VERY LONG YEAR ... Beginning (on 20 Dec) right before Christmas last year (in 2024), and then ending (on 20 Jan) exactly one month later (in 2025), I lost three very close family members.  The most devastating was the loss of my Dad, who died at the age of 91 on 20 Jan. To grieve, I took a year off from several things (blogging, podcasting, etc.). And... even though I'm still grieving, I'm stepping back into some of the things I set down for a bit. This is the first blog post I've written in almost ten months.  After Christmas and New Years, I'll resume a weekly blogging schedule until 30 Apr, at which time, I'll take a two-month break.  Next week, I'll record the first podcast I've recorded in about ten months as well.  And, similar to blogging (but slightly different), I'll resume a biweekly podcasting schedule, also until 30 Apr. So... what will I be writing and talking about?  Well, in a nut...
