Some great songs

-

 What I like about both of these songs is the foundational aspect of God's love. Not a smarmy, mushy thing, but a love that goes to the ends of the earth to make His will complete.

Lyrics:

O, church arise and put your armor onHear the call of Christ our captainFor now the weak can say that they are strongIn the strength that God has given
 
With shield of faith and belt of truthWe'll stand against the devil's liesAn army bold whose battle cry is loveReaching out to those in darkness
 
Our call to war, to love the captive soul,But to rage against the captorAnd with the sword that makes the wounded wholeWe will fight with faith and valor
 
When faced with trials on ev'ry side,We know the outcome is secure,And Christ will have the prize for which He diedAn inheritance of nations

Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,As the Son of God is strickenThen see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,For the Conqueror has risen
 
And as the stone is rolled away,And Christ emerges from the grave,This vict'ry march continues till the dayEv'ry eye and heart will see Him
 
So Spirit, come, put strength in ev'ry stride,Give grace for ev'ry hurdle,That we may run with faith to win the prizeOf a servant good and faithful
 
As saints of old still line the way,Retelling triumphs of His grace,We hear their calls and hunger for the dayWhen, with Christ, we stand in glory
 
The second:

I will build my life upon Your love, it is a firm foundation. 
I will trust in You alone, I will not be shaken.

Kallman's Syndrome: The Secret Best Kept

-
I went to my cardiologist yesterday.   Every year I have to wear a Holter monitor for a day because of a heart ablation I had in 2007.   If you don’t know what a Holter monitor is, it’s a 24-hour mobile, wires-hanging-off-your-body EKG.   The nurse practitioner saw me, (not the doctor, which is ok because his voice puts me to sleep).   She was very sweet.   She asked me if I was still taking Estradiol and Progesterin.   “No,” I said. “I’ve totally gone off those.   I was on them for a very long time and I wanted to be sure to stop.” What I didn’t tell her is how long I actually had taken those hormones.   37 years.   I started with HRT when I was 17 because I have Kallman’s Syndrome.   You may never meet a person who has this condition.   It only affects 1 in 10,000 people (or 1 in 86,000, according to one source) so that’s quite a range and far more males have it than females (as do most negative things).   So, being female, I am quite an oddit

Annie Dillard on Writing Advice and Some Observations

-
  https://getpocket.com/explore/item/write-as-if-you-were-dying-read-annie-dillard-s-greatest-writing-advice?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us I frequently listen to a podcast called THE HABIT. Its host is Jonathan Rogers, who for the most part interviews writers with a Christian focus. He is a better interviewer than I, and he runs a community of writers. I recommend him. I do have to say that the podcast makes me feel very shallow as a writer.  One reason is that Jonathan Rogers has a signature question, Who are the writers that make you want to write? If I ever land on his program (a dream), I will need an answer to that one, and right now I don't have one. Sure, there are writers I like, lots of them, but reading them doesn't send me to my computer to get cracking. They are more likely to make me think, you've got no business doing this writing gig.  Actually, bad or mediocre writers motivate me more although I am not exactly proud of that. And the fact that what I want to
