Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of thoughts put down on paper in an effort to encourage the pilgrim to push forward on his/her journey Home. It is a combination of personal experiences, conversations, and observations of this pilgrim, who has been bent and broken, but carries on because-- "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me." Patricia Fitzpatrick is a woman who loves her God and her family. Being afflicted with Rheumatoid Arthritis since age 3, Patricia has learned to overcome many obstacles in life, physical and spiritual. Being disabled, sometimes frustration would come over Patricia when there was a work to be done, yet physical limitations keep her from participating. Some years ago Patricia began to write down some thoughts as a form of meditation and study. These written pieces were shared with friends and family. Now, Patricia hopes to share her deep love for God with others through this book.
