Your comments hit me right where I am. I am continually on the go trying to multi-tasked all my obligations into 24 hours. Your reflection made me stop and think about what is really important. Impatience is keeping me from developing a stronger relationship with God. Thank you so much. Dear Greg. Your comments hit me right where I am.

Truly, God does want us to experience Grace and abundant life.

They would look upon the serpent and live, not die. But it also isn't, "be perfected" or "not have issues" or "not have pains" or "not have real life intrude upon their plans." The word is that we will live, not die, but that the life we are given, while given by God, is still very much connected with this earthly life, a life which leads to Calvary Hill and Jesus.

I am not sure we are always aware of the poison in our heads or hearts. I am sure that the irrational faith that looking can result in living is most relevant in our hyper rationalized culture. thank you!
