Lately I have been feeling like Dear Jack should be my blog title. The funniest thing is I never even posted anything under my last name (Oh my life). You may ask who is Jack and why would I write to him?
Jack is, I mean was, my grandfather and truth be told the dead person I would most like to talk to (next to my grandmother, fishing might be nice). They died when I still was quite young and my memory is very limited, but they knew the God that I know and I wish I got to have conversions with them about what God is teaching me and hear their wisdom of lessons learned and still learning. I sometimes think of 3 John 1:4-"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." I hope they would have felt that about me.
The second part of that question, why would I write it to him? I am not crazy, I don't except something magically, out of a movie to happen, where my grandfather starts talking to me or writes back. Partly this is a small way to honor the man of God my grandfather was, but mostly it is to remind myself that day to day things (the type that I shall write about) will soon pass, this life is a vapor, only what's done for Christ will last. And if Christ does not come back before death comes to me, please remember self that a legacy will be left. I pray that legacy would be a sinner saved by grace to the glory of God and learning to walk/rest in that.
