  1. Rivanna, I used to think of the Bible as more of a manual of rules...and didn't get emotional reactions unless a verse stuck out at me.~~~~~~~~~~However, I now see the bible a different way entirely. Now, to me it is like my Father has set me on His knee and shares His secrets and wisdom with me...a little at a time. So, now, I do have tears or a feeling of warmness, because I am confident that this is indeed the purpose of scripture,,,,,not to condemn, but to bestow wisdom and understanding. Then if there is something that seems condemning then I know that it is just something else that I need more wisdom and understanding about. :^)
  2. I think that people in general underestimate the power of words as well! Quotes are others wisdom which many times have been wrought out of suffering, and at the very least life experience...so it would behoove us to pay heed, as maybe it might lead us to the same wise thinking, without the same suffering.
  3. Thanks for the door being open! It is so nice being welcome... These are my favorite quotes...that nourish me...in fact, I can feel them sink down into my heart....hope they do similar for you! "You cannot train a horse with shouts and expect it to obey a whisper." ~ DD Runes "Integrity has no need of rules." ~ A Camus "If a man happens to find himself, he has a mansion which he can inhabit with dignity all the days of his life." ~ JA Michener "I haven't failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." ~ T Edison **************************************************************************************************************************************************** "In our religious striving, we are usually looking for something quite other than the God who has come looking for us." ~ E Peterson "You and I are here to do good to others. What the others are here for, I don't know." ~ B Russell "The rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has an enormous advantage ~~ he has little competition." ~ A Carnegie "So absolutely good is truth, truth never hurts the teller." ~ R Browning ***************************************************************************************************************************************************** Here are some funnies too... "You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours." ~ Y Berra "A cat could very well be man's best friend, but would never stoop to admitting it!" ~ D Larson "If you think it's hard meeting new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball." ~ J Lemmon

    "In our religious striving, we are usually looking for something quite other than the God who has come looking for us." ~ Eugene Peterson It seems that the closer I get to God the more I see that God is much different then I previously thought. If God is as immense as we say, and we as finite...then how can we be hard and fast in our beliefs and perceptions? Is true faith one that is completely 'full', and totally sure of what is believed? Or is it one that keeps room for more growth and truth? "The meek shall inherit the earth"..."The poor in spirit shall see God." This keeps me open to truth and wisdom where ever it presents itself. If, to the best of my ability, I desire truth...then it will come, but maybe not in the form I am expecting.
