They have no veils of ignorance or prejudice to darken their
sight in heaven. Those of us who most candidly endeavor to learn the truth are
nevertheless in some degree biased and warped by education. Let us struggle as
we may, yet still our surroundings will not permit us to see things as they are.
There is a deflection in our vision, a refraction in the air, a something
everywhere which casts the beam of light out of its straight line so that we
see rather the appearance than the reality of truth. We see not with open sight; our vision is
marred; but up yonder, among the golden harps, they “know, even as they are
known.” Charles Spurgeon
The words here are about my life as the wife of a now retired Soldier. I live on a small ranch in Texas, and my experiences here craft the words I use to express my life. The sacrifices, challenges, and the deeply satisfying rewards of being the wife of such a man influence them as well. I live in a beautiful and peaceful place, and it is great solace and comfort when I face life and the challenges of a complicated and stressed world. So I have titled my writings "From the Ranch."
