At the start He was there.
In the end He was there, He'll be there
And after all our hands have wrought,
He forgives.

All is lost. Find Him there.

After night. Dawn is there.

And after all falls apart, He repairs.



I think there are two kinds of stories worth writing. One where everything starts right, and stays right. But I've never known that story, and I don't know how to write it. And I don't know any audience that knows it, and could read it. No, we read what we know, and what we hope to know. We know our story never could be that one. So, there is another story to write. Where all falls apart, and one day made well. I want that story, I want it a little more every day. I'm okay with that being my story. I want to write a story where it's all made well. And I want people to read it, and believe it. I suppose there is a third kind of story, where it's all wrong, and ends all wrong. I've read that one before, many times, and I always end hoping that the author meant to make me fight... fight to write a better ending in my life.
