A Little Bit About Me..
I have had a lot to overcome in my life. So many struggles. I’ve asked “why” so many times.
Because.. I am becoming. The struggles that I have had from the least to the most heart-breaking have all been lines written in the book of my life.
My life is an ever-continuing story of Overcoming to Becoming who God has always planned for me to be. I am still on this long journey and want to encourage you to stay on your journey by sharing my victories and challenges.
I share because my heart longs to give hope to others, to show that even in the hardest places, there is a door waiting to be opened and beauty waiting to be found.
I have a photoblog: God Through My Eyes
I also have a Christian Devotional Today I Can With God
Easter Ellen
As I enjoy photography so much, I have started a 2nd blog site to share where I see God’s beauty in God Through My Green Eyes Please take a few moments to visit (there are only a few posts for now as it is a new blog, but it is growing :).
Easter Ellen 
I am glad we have connected and I look forward to reading more of your story. God is good.

Thank you so very much Paul! I get a LOT of kidney stones, which really is not a big deal, but last year, for whatever reason, I repeatedly got septic infections which lead to a miserable year for the most part. I felt disheartened, but God has renewed my strength and my vigor and here I am again.
Thank you so much for your kind words.

I have never suffered with any prolonged physical illness, which is lucky, as I am a very impatient patient. One kidney stone, sounds one too many for me let alone having any serious complications. You can give credit to whoever you like but I think the strength and vigor you talk about are undoubtedly your own; have you not been reborn physically, psychologically and spiritually having lived through this difficult experience? Does life not burn at its brightest in the wake of adversity? I have yet to discover God in this life, though I have been reborn many times through experiencing a life’s difficulties. I am pleased people of faith have their Gods to help them on their journeys of life through both the good and not so good times.

Wow Paul. You have an awesome outlook. Yes, the whole process of in and out of the hospital (more than 4 months spent in less than two years, was defeating at the time, but the experiences that I had, the people that influenced me with love, kindness, saving me (literally) have enriched my life in a way that can never be taken from me.
Although you may not have God in your life, your dept of spirit is beautiful.
Thank you again, for sharing your views, your rich insights and your kindness.

As a frequent visitor to my site (very much appreciated) I need an opinion. In the past week I’ve developed another site with Blogger. I’ve gone to the “dark side” and made it more commercial (offering products I’ve used or read) through Amazon. At present it is an experiment. I’ve posted some older stories to start with. I’d like for you to visit and render a thought or two or word or two. Here’s the link: http://jitterygoat.blogspot.com/
