By the way, have you noticed when you have a blog you can not turn the number of people in church into a source of joy or bumed-out-ness but you can also count the comments on your blog?

A sweet correction in the strongest sense of the words. I read Romans 8 recently (posted about it) I was struck by the way Paul with all sincerity and no fear or recrimination, lists a bunch of stuff that can and will happen to believers; trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger or sword..... but there is no sense that if these things happen our joy is gone. And there is certainly not the sense that if these thngs happen we question the love of God. He says if and when these things take place we have a conviction that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us for... nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ and that's all that ultimately matters. Thanks for the good words. Hey David, Encouraging words! A sweet correction in the strongest sense of the words.
