Jeff was pursuing dual Masters degrees, one in theology and one in business so that he might some day be able to not travel and spend more time at home with his family. Jeff was truly a beautiful person, bright, thoughtful and from my perspective,introspectively religious. It broke my heart to see his picture on television the morning after 9/11.<br /><br />For all his and his families sacrifices I pray there is a heaven.Don crossenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29684015.post-62111942522999182652011-04-29T22:50:27.329-05:002011-04-29T22:50:27.329-05:00This was way encouraging!!

It's like what Diane's mom said last night - that the majority of what our kids will learn from us will be "caught, not taught". So true! And wow - I didn't know you were pregnant again! I haven't seen you in ages.

I've come...That's so beautiful. Thank you.<br /><br />I've come to realize too that the miracle of the loaves and fishes is symbolic of what Christ can do for all of us. Just as a few loaves and fishes didn't seem like enough but was able to feed an entire multitude, sometimes Christ doesn't seem like enough, by Himself, to meet the spiritual needs of all mankind. Sometimes it's hard to believe if He's enough just for MY needs and sins. But there was enough physical nourishment for everyone there, until they were filled, and plenty leftover as well. And He is enough for me and anyone else who will go and partake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29684015.post-32729859444363924732010-12-21T00:21:15.115-06:002010-12-21T00:21:15.115-06:00Thank you for sharing, Sarah.

I'm so thankful that it's finally starting to sink in to me that there's only One voice that really matters. And His voice is full of grace and truth. And to be honest, I'm pretty sure that although God cares about me honoring my husband and caring for my kids, I don't think he's going to measure that based on how clean my house is or how often my kids have a bath. Or whatever other external standard is freaking out my heart.

And thank you for the comment you left me.<br /><br />Isn't it wonderful that the more problems we see, we can know that ultimately Christ will reign perfectly? Sometimes I want to just throw in the towel and say, "It's too hard! He'll sort it out when He gets here. There's nothing I can do about it."<br /><br />But if we're going to follow Him when He comes and actively participate in His work then, shouldn't we be seeking to know His will and follow it right now? Then we're part of preparing the Earth and ourselves for His arrival.<br /><br />My, it's hard to solve the problems of the world when kids are tugging on your shirt asking what's for lunch. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29684015.post-6121581161976818152010-08-04T02:21:33.807-05:002010-08-04T02:21:33.807-05:00Thank you for sharing your insights.

I would mostly add additional questions, so I will leave you with a couple of thoughts. <br /><br />We are made in the image of God and are therefore creative.<br /><br />There must be "industry" that allows for "productivity" and the reward of satisfaction (God saw that it was good). We seem to need sustainance in the here and now, and there is a planned Wedding Feast - not that that necessarily implies and ongoing "need" to eat). I have a hard time imagining us just sitting around and doing little or nothing for eternity. <br /><br />I am convinced we will worship as never before in that setting, but I believe we will also continue to be "busy" in a meaningful and beneficial way. <br /><br />Money will no longer be involved in eternity. I simply do not see any need or reason for it.<br /><br />Great post, great thoughts.
