      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      A Diary of My Confession

      by Janet Gillooly

      Dedication: I would like to dedicate this book to Emily a librarian who has spent endless hours with me helping with my endless projects including these books. I also want to dedicate this book to all those who have been supportive in my endeavors. I especially want to thank my readers for giving me a chance to touch your lives.

      I am in darkness and I am not sure why. My self-honesty however has reached the ultimate level of reality. My prayer life is simple and my sense of humor has magnified. Suffering has been extreme in this poverty, but my humility has pleased God. My sleeping patterns have been extreme and my body has suffered in certain ways. I have needed financial help from churches and strangers.

      I have been away from the church and communion for five months. I am preparing for God's judgment reflecting on my life past and present. I have days I get relief from financial stress and then stress mounts up again. I am forced to hunt for my needs without hope just hanging on an anchor.

      I have no companion and lucky no companion has me. My only companion is a cat who is so gentle. God hears his prayers more than anyone. My life has been full of sorrow but now I face the end. The end is a comfort but also I am not ready to face the Almighty.

      Oh God, I have become a beggar and I am ashamed, but you are delighted that I lean on you. I am looked down upon but you surround me with your people. I feel all my burdens but you carry me. I cry out to you like one lost in battle and you rescue me. I get angry, lose hope and get severely depressed but you give me rest.

      I have lost all my dreams but you drive me on with a new purpose. I grow sceptic and bitter but you touch the child in me. You answer my prayer not now my love. I know not the hour nor the day but I long for heaven as the nights grow longer. You keep me here and I ask why? You long to feed me, to love me and I just do not understand. When I think I deserve punishment and death you give me love. You take care of my needs and you comfort me. Oh, Lord how can I understand such a love of this kind?

      I grow weary but you breathe new life in me. You are the blue
