    yes to all of these, though i do not (yet?) know the specific joy of pigs. and amen to the part where we are all these things in order to make much of God. He is THE 'I AM.'

    I am a lot of those things too (although only stuffed pigs at my house!). Congrats on defying the swinging bridge. They can be a little nerve-wracking at times.

    I can relate to reader, writer, and coffee drinker! I stopped in from the Faith Barista Jam and began reading through your blog. I'm sure I'll be back to soak in more. Blessings!

    Oh, wow--that bridge! The last one is truly amazing, isn't it? God actually chose me to be an ambassador for Him. Such a privilege and great responsibility.

    I'm so glad you're alive. Just looking at that bridge is causing me to panic. Another word for you - fearless! Thanks for linking up today my friend.

    I love your 'I ams'. Beautiful. And that bridge... you are so brave. No way I could have done that. Nope. :)

    OK, so weird, I just refreshed Em's page to stroll through Imperfect Prose and my eye caught her profile and I began wondering about my own I ams. Then I hopped over here and voila, you're talking about your I am list. So odd, but cool. I love stuff like that. And BTW you are so brave to walk that bridge. Hmmmm, not sure I could do that.

    Oh, I love this! A pig farmer, huh? Will you raise them for meat? We are great friends with dairy farmers.

    I'm chiming in with everyone here too. That bridge. Where is that? ... and a pig farmer. What a unique poet you are, Kendal! Thanks for sharing these photos and your soul-stirring words.
