Convoking Hell

Back in 2009 Martin Petry and I wrote and released a book called Convoking Hell.  It was probably the most difficult book that I've written because it's a book of truth and confession.  Some of the confessions - okay, MOST - were ugly.

According to librarians that we've spoken with it's rare to see a dual autobiography and that's what Convoking Hell is. It's his story and my story told in parallel segments.  Martin and I grew up in the same town.  We were in the same high school for only a year because he's a few years older than I am, but we were in the same school for a year and even performed in two of the same school plays, yet we never spoke to one another.  More than 25 years later our paths crossed again and about a year after that we got married.  It was my first marriage.  It was his third.

Child abuse
Drug abuse
Alcoholism
Adultery
Failed marriages
Prostitution
Homelessness
Abortion
Broken homes

We were both in our 40's when we met up again and the world had broken us both down pretty badly.  We were battle-scarred and cynical.  Somehow, by the Grace of God we both found the strength to take one last leap of faith in each other and our lives have been changed so completely it's hard for us to even imagine living the way we lived our whole lives.

Convoking Hell leaves off in the fall of 2009.  Conjuring Love picks up the tale from that point and carries through the next year.  One of the projects we're working on still is the follow-up from there.  Our marriage. Our challenges - the struggles we've had in shedding our past selves.  We've put our hearts and souls into these two volumes.

Reflections on a Marriage - 7 years in...

Image
Marriage and the Sabbath - two things that God instituted right at Creation.  They are both all about love relationships; with each other and with our Creator.  Curiously enough they are both things that are becoming less and less important to the world. Practically everyone lives together before getting married now. Marty and I did for a year before we even thought about marriage. But that's the past. We lived, we learned, we changed.  And we got married. I was 43 years old and it is my first marriage. He was 46 years old and this is his third time at bat. Do you know how hard it is to get married for the first time after the age of 40? After living on my own for 25 years? Not reporting to anyone or sharing my income and space and possessions? For heaven's sake, I hadn't even thought about marriage since I was in my late teens. In the interest of full disclosure I should probably mention that when he moved in with me he wasn't even legally divorced from...

Chapter 3 - Vengeance in the Bathroom

Image
The bathroom is our friend. It's there for us in our deepest time of need. It's there for us when we're at our lowest, at times in our lives when no one else would want to be near us. So why are people so mean to their bathrooms when they're moving out of a home? Why did that poor toilet ever do to them ? The first time the property management office called me and asked if I'd be willing to "once in a while" clean a vacant home for them it was at my husband's suggestion. The place he was remodeling was in desperate need of a cleaning and they didn't have anyone at that time to take care of it. So they called me. I told them I'd be happy to do it. Happy. I actually used the word happy.  I put on some old cut-off sweats and a grubby t-shirt. It was summer. In the south. It was about 90 degrees outside at midday. Have you ever been in a trailer in the summer? You cannot live in these things in the summer without good A/C. They're ovens! ...

Goals

It's raining today. First rain we've gotten here in what seems like forever. The summer was beyond brutal - record breaking number of days over 90 degrees. It will be October before the week is over and it's finally just down into the 80's, with some 70 degree days in the ten day forecast. The local folks tell me this has not been a normal summer. The winter weather is the real payoff for me here. No blizzards, no negative number temps. Working was a real challenge this summer for both my husband and myself. We earn the lion's share of our income through doing remodeling and cleaning of mobile homes which are vacant and seldom have power or water on, so no A/C and those tin boxes turn into furnaces once the sun comes up. I've been painting for the last few days, doing the interior of a trailer or two but today... it's raining. Not such a great kind of day to paint - it's too dark inside, and too damp. But later we're going to our church to hang som...
