To Shoulder His Cross

One night as I was drifting off to sleep, pondering whether I should write about my life as a suffering soul-knowing the Church holds that we should remain humbly silent-I wondered, "How does God feel about our remaining quiet?" We do know that God does not think like us. The next morning as I lifted my head off the pillow, I heard God the Father's deep, commanding voice in my head, "You must write that book." So I had my orders from on high and I have done my best to fulfill His expectations. No doubt I had His help throughout.
