We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2008. Our children helped us celebrate with an all expense paid all arranged vacation In Hawaii.

John Ortberg has a book with the title, Love Beyond Reason. The subtitle is, Moving God’s Love from your head to your heart.
My last two posts have been about pain and human suffering. I consider suffering one of the biggest problems people have about God—if not THE BIGGEST!
I have been saying I don’t necessarily have an answer for you, but I have found one for myself.
John’s subtitle is a movement in the right direction. I moved my love for God from my head (An intellectual thing) to my heart (An emotional thing.)
I switched from just knowing about God to KNOWING HIM!
I have always disliked the expression, “Better felt, than told” but in my case this really does apply. For many, many years I knew about God—I knew a lot about Him.
But praise His Holy Name, I came to KNOW HIM and not just know about Him. It has made all the difference. This is my answer to human suffering.

it's wonderful when the heart understands and moves us to have that relationship...wanting to go to church for healing instead of for a civics lessons or to be seen...relation he calls us to with himselfe and with people...there to hear, yet support and share. Our mistakes and shortcomings shared in love can give others courage to step out and love God in a new way.
Jesus had some very interesting things to say about knowledge and knowledgeable people...
