Thanks for that devotional. I don’t know why I found this today, but it was inspiring.

Thank you, Maria, for reminding us that longing for God is what God wants us to do and that it is for our own benefit. Advent is a perfect time to remember this.

Thank you, Maria for this reminder that we do have certainty in this uncertain world: the certainty of God’s love, the certainty that one day we will be relieved of whatever pain, hunger or frustration we face today.

I find the devotions interesting and valuable. Today is the first day I noticed the disclaimer. Between the lines of the disclaimer, I can feel the pressure of the thought police, and I would like to say to them, to whomever feels or felt the need to include a disclaimer, that my purpose is to be a “doing” believer, and I’m far less concerned with being a “believing” believer. It’s said we’ll be known by the fruits of what we do, and I don’t believe those fruits include much in the way of our “official institutional positions.” Please let it go. Disclaimers belong on legal documents. When a student writes about his or her faith, how her life is impacted by spiritual developments, by the Word, that’s not a contract’ it’s an act of love. An act of love needs no disclaimer. Thanks!
