See

See, I am God;
See, I am in all things:
See, I do all things:
See, I never lift my hands off my works,
      nor ever shall, without end:
See, I lead all things to the end that I ordain it to,
     from without beginning,
     by the same might, wisdom and love that I made it with.
How should anything be amiss?
-Julian of Norwich

Irresistible grace


Image from: www.hayinart.com 
He brings me songs on the ride. Sung to a bluesy tune with hand claps:

My daddy took his scythe
and cut off his right hand
ohh daddy took his scythe
cut off his right hand

My daddy took his scythe
and cut down his first born
ohh daddy took his scythe
done cut down his first born

My daddy  took his scythe
and tore down his home
ohh daddy took his scythe
done tore down off his home

Daddy, daddy,
how much harm
you done from your disease,
took that scythe and broke it all
ain't no one to grieve, no
ain't no one left to grieve

Poisoned by the liquor,
poisoned by the leaves,
Daddy, daddy,
how much harm
you done from your disease,
oh you done from your disease
