You get hammered in life, but you get hammered into interesting shapes. Like most, I'd prefer my blessings to come without disguises! And then Life happened.......
Words that do not become flesh in us remain "just words." They have no power to affect our lives. If someone says, "I love you," without any deep emotion, the words do more harm than good. But if these same words are spoken from the heart, they can create new life.
It is important that we keep in touch with the source of our words. Our great temptation is to become "pleasers," people who say the right words to please others but whose words have no roots in their interior lives. We have to keep making sure our words are rooted in our hearts. The best way to do that is in prayerful silence.

Douglas,
So good of you to drop by.
I remember reading some of the things you at written years ago even b4 we had our first computer, use to go to my wife's school and surf looking for anything to touch that ache within my heart wanting to know the truth apart from so much BS.
I am always surprised in finally seeing a face linked to a persons thoughts.
I have and do enjoy what Father has to offer in and through you.
The best to you in Him in 2009
