I just read it out loud to my 12-year-old daughter and we both had to smile just thinking about what it will be like. I sometimes fear death but then I realize, it will be the ultimate escape from all the things this list is NOT...(same old body, home, food...sorrows, sickness, pain, definitely NOT living in a perfect world!). Then I think, "Why should I fear death?". Thank you so much for sharing and God bless!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838393945693808605.post-18144121747877071762010-11-26T15:52:37.444-08:002010-11-26T15:52:37.444-08:00The passage in vearse 12, For we wrestle not again...The passage in vearse 12, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers...<br />has never been more clear to me than it is right now. I guess it is because when I was young our society had the same principals for the most part (Christian and Jewish foundation.) In the current state of our society with Islam becoming such a force, people are welcoming it with open arms. These same people are claiming it in the name of religious freedom while stripping more and more rights and freedoms from the Christian and Jewish communities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838393945693808605.post-54644194231817984792010-11-23T21:15:15.067-08:002010-11-23T21:15:15.067-08:00I know that chapter in Ephesians well, and even ha...I know that chapter in Ephesians well, and even have it bookmarked. Back in Jan and Feb 2010, I explored similar topics and thought you'd like to get another viewpoint http://hopefultransitions.wordpress.com/2010/02/. Back to the Woman, Submit Please idea. As a woman (OK, a pretty head-strong woman), I struggled with this idea when presented to me in marriage therapy, but now I get it, but I had to understand first a Biblical model for marriage, which is husband and wife as the corners of a triangle with God at the apex. To me, submitting is respecting, which is something many marriages–indeed the world–could use more of. Sadly, my second marriage failed, in part because of the Bermuda triangle of ex, our challenging daughter, and my 2nd hubby. But he and I are talking again with a possibility of reconciling. One of the things couples with children should really seek before marrying is SOUND advice about blending a family. Thanks for offering your insight. Your book looks interesting, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
