Lewis Carroll in the making
I’d like to be a fish when I grow up. A fish that swims among the stars in the black sky. I’d watch the rain below me fall on the earth and the cow jumping over the moon. I wonder if I’ll see a cheerful giant eating his dumpling and bouncing among the cloud when the sun comes out.
Well don’t blame me for writing this whimsical, non-nonsensical story. Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland and it’s been studied for years and even made into a movie.
You might be smiling at the end of my story. What do you expect when you give a list of random words to string?
Wow! I didn’t even need a Lifebook computer to write this.

My grandfather was the head of our family. I went with Mummy to see Kong Kong when he got really sick. I waited outside his room.
I had become a follower of Jesus and I wanted to tell him… I wanted to tell him… I wanted to tell him so many things. I wanted to go in to see him. No one asked me to.
Then he died.
At 17, I learned that people die.
I learned that this commodity called time runs out at some point.
When I was born, my Kong Kong gave me the name Angeline, or Messenger of God. I never knew why he gave me that name. Maybe he wanted me to be angel or thought I was one, or maybe he believed in God. He left with me with my name as a legacy when I was born.
At 17, he left me with another legacy, the conviction to live life well, to live up to my name, and to be God’s messenger of hope.
A phrase that keeps coming back to me is: “Angel, what’s YOUR story?” I’ve lost my own voice in the midst of helping others tell THEIR story. The Lord led me to spend time on Isaiah 40-66 during the tail end of my time in the USA. It’s safe to read it in a detached [...]
A phrase that keeps coming back to me is:
“Angel, what’s YOUR story?”
I’ve lost my own voice in the midst of helping others tell THEIR story.
The Lord led me to spend time on Isaiah 40-66 during the tail end of my time in the USA. It’s safe to read it in a detached way. God wants me to deeply interact with him as he talks about himself. Who is he TO ME? What is my story with him.
I am officially out of a job beginning 1 September 2010. I took a big leap of faith leaving my job of 20 years to venture into something I stumbled on to and fell in love with – to teach people to tell their stories (digitally).
It seems a good time to reflect on my last 50 years as I to look forward to the next half of my life.
