More than I could ever imagine

If someone had told me 20 years ago that I would be traveling around middle Tennessee on a Harley Davidson, I would have thought they were crazy.
But that is exactly what Ma and I have been doing.

As we were cruising down the Natchez Trace Parkway, enjoying some of the most beautiful scenery in the entire world, three things occurred to me:

First, was how much my life has changed from my Northern, Buick City, industrial, inner city roots. Not that my roots, my upbringing, or my other life was bad – it wasn’t. It was just different – really different. It was a different time and a world away – so much so that there are times it doesn’t even seem real. But that’s another story for another time.

The second thing I realized was how truly blessed I am. God has changed my life and blessed me with way more already than I could ever ask for or imagine. Not that I deserve it mind you – I don’t – I mean I really don’t! In fact I deserve just the opposite. But God, because he is God, has blessed me in spite of me.

The last thing was how eternity really starts now. Those of us waiting for Heaven or the great hereafter to start enjoying God’s blessing are really missing out on what the great Satchmo called A Wonderful World.


Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20
