WHY I WROTE THIS STORY In a moment life can change, one phone call, one bad diagnosis from a Doctor! Health. Death. Financial problems. Anything can stop you in your tracks. All of a sudden all that seemed so important now means nothing! It's not what you go through, but how you go through it. Trust me... You don't know until it stares you right on the face. In 2005, I faced life at its most difficult. My beautiful sister, Linda, was told she had cancer. She lost her battle ten months later. Her death made me really take inventory of my priorities. Linda and my dog, Latte, inspired my short story, "It's All Just Stuff." The years that have followed, revealed fully what Linda had told me; "Go...
I am again Marcia Martin Ensley. I said again because this is my second published work. My interest and desire, at this time, is to understand the why of death. Death is a phenomenon. It is forever with us. It does not ask for our permission; and we dont, for the most part, welcome it. Death represents an absence to life, yet death is always present with us. The National Center for Health Statistics report that there are millions of deaths a year. Why? Sure, someone probably had a heart attack; someone had AIDS, cancer or perhaps an accident in a vehicle. But still, WHY? As a pastor, I have attended many funerals and have been at the bedside with family members whose loved ones died. During those times, my heart is saddened. If I knew them personally, I am saddened that they are gone. If I didnt know them personally, I am saddened when I see the tears and grief of loved ones left behind. Of course, as a pastor, the loss is great because that loss represents a sheep gone from the fold. God, for me, is all knowing and all powerful. Why doesnt God just step in and stop death? Why does it seem death wins? Stay tuned. The pages to follow will address these questions.
Building serious math skills has never been so much fun!
My name is Marcia Martin Ensley. And yes, I am a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. There it goes, I said the word, "minister". What a mouth full, right? From a woman's perspective, you never know how that claim to "serve" in ministry will be received. Nonetheless, this book is written by the leading of the Holy Spirit. I certainly have no personal desire to examine this issue for I know the controversy it engenders. However, the quest for truth and understanding propels me to seek and to find answers to those controversial issues (surrounding women in ministry) that tend, from time to time, to divide the body of Christ. Since I was a little girl, I heard and knew that God had called me to share His word with others. The process of preparation has been long and full of challenges and changes. However, I am learning to relax, knowing that the processes of preparation and progression will only end when it meets with the transition into eternity -- Romans 8:30.
