Welcome to Epiphany!

Epiphany is the Greek term for 'appearance' or 'revelation'. Dictionary.com defines 'epiphany' as...'A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization', or 'a sudden revelation or realization of an essential truth or reality.

As I mature (read 'decline'), I have fewer and fewer moments of clarity. So, I decided to start this blog in order to have a 'record' of some of the things I learn in these latter days of my earthly existence... so I'll 'remember' them if I want or need to...Also, for anyone reading this (like kids - or eventually grandkids) who cares to remember me when I had more brain cells!

Be assured, I'm not giving up on learning or growing...I want to be fully submitted to the Holy Spirit's process of sanctification.

I recently read Jonathan Edward's 'Resolutions' for 1722-23. One especially speaks to this 'aging' issue..."I frequently hear persons in old age say how they would live, if they were to live their lives over again: Resolved, that I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age."

Onward!
