I think some of us need to listen to the Spirit of God within us and take our direction from that. Finding ourselves following the Spirit instead of the whole flesh thing can be such an amazing thing. It would take to long to explain what should be so simple. I think we as humans do that. <BR/>We'll get together sometime.<BR/><BR/>JBMK is much smarter than I. <BR/><BR/>Glad your back on. Been wondering where you've been.<BR/><BR/>Blessings and Grace,<BR/>Love and peace,<BR/>DJ GlenMCDJ GlenMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901630521278521060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134376417664046019.post-57262019404610392412008-04-20T15:51:00.000-07:002008-04-20T15:51:00.000-07:00Ok Glen, weird how this was just what I was thinki...Ok Glen, weird how this was just what I was thinking about in service today.<BR/><BR/>I don't disagree with what you said, but want to add one more thing. Some of us don't excuse our behavior by God's grace, but just have no ability disguise it AT ALL. So it hangs all out there so all can see. So we only have Grace to hold on to. Maybe that is what Paul meant in boasting in his weakness. (Never would of guessed that I would experience living that verse. I would prefer to just believe the verse to be true, but experience living one of those "cup runith over" kind of verses. But that is Jesus for ya.<BR/><BR/>Seems all three of us turn out to be "ramblers." Though, JBMK seems to ramble in a more orderly fashion.<BR/><BR/>Glad to be alive again.
