Life Instigators

Here I sit, the morning after my 45th Birthday. Where do I sit. Where am I. I am here. I work. I act. I believe. I live. Where are you. Last night I discovered the truth about Life Instigators. Those who want to instigate life with me. Those who goad or urge forward. Those who enjoy life. Those who share a mutual, two-way, continued, viable, living and breathing interest in life and all that it entails.

The Neuropathy Buzz

Friday, June 19, 2009

Where do I start? The current is that they've discovered I have some sort of poly(?)neuropathy in all four appendages. Continued at http://krten1966buzzing.blogspot.com/

A Snowball

 A good friend shared with me their financial story and asked about mine. Here is the reply:

Dear Politicians

Dear Campaigning Politician, Greetings.

Please stop the negative attack ads against your opponent. We know they are crazy. Please return to focusing on and promoting how you propose to help us common folk. In addition to DADT and Fair Labor and Housing laws for the GLBT citizens, I'd like to share some other concerns of mine.

The Testimony -- Oct 20, 2009

I would like to share with you a story of God's grace. His deep, mysterious grace, mercy and compassion. I would like to share a story of how His grace collided with my world.

Re: REUNION

01 June 2009

Greetings.

My decision not to attend this gathering for the most part has to do with the kind of environment I've tried to silently endure in the past. Even though it has been made undeniably clear that folk don't agree with who I am, I wish y'all could set it aside and try to begin understanding things from my vantage point. What is usually meant to be a fun, social occasion for our whole family has become a burden, an especially painful one.

A view of faith

I struggle daily to seek God's grace, love and acceptance, such as found in just a few select passages: Luke 15:1-2; Luke 14:23-24; Luke 7:9; John 4; Acts 15; among the countless others.

What about my validity as a child of God? Let me summarize my life experiences...

The Entire Story -- A Bio

Before I begin any deep details, let me introduce myself by way of my biography from the 2006 Tengesdal-Lerfald family history book, "Mountains, Fjords, Prairies":

The Testimony -- Feb 21, 1999

“Behold, my servant is dead. Arise and cross this river” (Joshua 1:2). This is a most difficult letter that must be written. I have put it off long enough and in direct opposition to God’s leading. I must cross this river. This letter is going to family members and to those who have known the past. The outcome from this letter, I hope, is that you will discover enough evidence to convict me of just being a believer in Christ, striving to be pleasing to God alone.

The Testimony -- Dec 14, 1993

I grew up in a large, mostly Christian family.  As the youngest child, I felt lost in the crowd and so I desired all the love and attention that I could get.  Through high school I did all the right and good things, and my family loved me.  There were a few times that I had made professions of faith, but always for somebody else's honor.
