A Journal by E. C.

A wise man named Eknath Easwarn once said that life was a game of hide and seek. God hides and we seek. And God leaves us little footprints…little glimpses of His beauty. This book is about where we stop and see a little glimpse of God in our lives and we reflect on that…we reflect on God’s beauty. And it is about how we can possibly quieten the coaching tips inside so we can see those little glimpses of God and how we in return can set the the stage so the good shots inside us can come out.
One Can See Differently by E. C.
A journal of my life this year as I go about my life to church, to work, to teaching, to play, and to visiting friends. The first chapter is a story of the spring. The second chapter is like a sketchbook or a glimpse into a journal. There are reflections and prayers and wishes. The ideas from church are ideas I heard from the priests. It is really paraphrased versus a direct quotation. And some of the biblical quotes I used are used in the poem I wrote.
Also, a picture is worth a thousand words, and a part of my book is the pictures I submitted. They help to illustrate and develop the book. The second chapter is about the summer of 2018 and about some of the things I went through.
Still in my book, I am hoping it is pleasing to God. I hope it loves God. I hope it helps bring God’s love to others.
