Welcome to Grace writer!
In these pages I hope that you will find some down-to-earth, interesting stuff that you will like. Oh, all right, what I really hope is that you will go crazy over it and shout and scream that it’s the greatest stuff you’ve ever read! When you do, please open the windows so everybody can hear, and they will all come running and will agree that it’s wonderful, and then you’ll see me on TV, and…
Okay, back to the real world. The purpose of this little thing I’m putting up front is to introduce myself to you, and also to introduce the articles. [Hi there! My name is Jim Lee! And these are the articles! How y’all doing?]
Just like canned biscuits and instant grits, the pre-packaged, quick and easy version of a spiritual life is nothing like the real thing. That’s why we call it a “broken road.” In these articles I will share some of my own stories of pain and sorrow and failure, and of love and forgiveness and grace. It will be more honest than most of what you hear. I will not give you the official religious party platform spin. When you read them, you may laugh, or you may cry, or you may just roll your eyes and say, “oh brother!” It’s all cool with me.
Everything I have written has been in the style of a public speaker/broadcaster. Often I have the opportunity to share these articles verbally, either in meetings or on the radio. So naturally I believe that you also will get the most benefit from them by reading them slowly or aloud, to let each word sink in.
So, go ahead and click on to the “TABLE OF CONTENTS” page and choose a title that sounds interesting to you. I hope that you will read and think about some of these stories, maybe even discuss them with others. And I welcome your comments, your questions, and your criticism. My email address is JTL98@bellsouth.net . Or you can put a post at the end of each article (I think).
Isht verbotten to reprint any of these articles without permission. But if you ask nicely, in English, I will almost definitely say okay! Thanks for the honor you give me by reading my stuff. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Jim Lee
