I thought of you this morning in Sunday School. We are starting a study on Phillipians and someone read Chapter one from The Message paraphrase. I am glad for all you have endured these past 3 years, and that your example, like Paul's, can be an encouragement to others. I know....."Please don't use me as an example. If you knew me better, you would know better." I feel that way too. But God, in His grace and mercy, does so, whether we agree with him or not.
I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."
