Thank God for Gravy or On the Completion of Book Three

So like I finished book three of the trilogy.  I say it flat toned like that because it snuck up on me.  Like nine years of working on the project and it seemed to take for ever and then boom book two was done and then boom book three is done.  So the excitement has not sunk in.

Or perhaps it’s because I am not certain that I will not suddenly perish.

This is because I used to pray that God would let me live long enough to finish the Parables.  I prayed that quite often and had even saved the rough drafts on a disc, revealing their hidden location to my daughter and making her swear to finish them should I see an untimely demise.  Which was disturbing to her.  I think.  But she promised to do it anyway.

So now, they are finished and I keep waking up in the mornings.  It’s like, wow!  I’m still alive!  And so now I am considering every day a gravy day.

So…thank you, God, for gravy 🙂
