what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfill what we expect of Him." ... J. B. Phillips, "Making Men Whole"
A "constant theme in Jesus: The coherence between what you have consciously received and what you can pass on. We are divine conduits that must be open at both ends."
- Richard Rohr
These two quotes are good indicators of my world view these days.
Sending you love...when do you return? Angela
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning remembering Katie. She will always be tied into my rememberance of the trip back from our honeymoon. You know that already. We talked to her on this day last year while we were way up in the skies. You, Gregg, David, Latte, Liger, and all of your family, are wrapped in our thoughts.
ReplyDeletePeace be with Katie my friend.
XOXO
Thinking and praying for your family today.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quotes. I sort of prayed to you, the other day, Karen. When I felt particularly challenged. I saw you, standing near me and felt comforted. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE that fat baby in the picture.
I just realized what day it is. What day it is, what day it is. Love and strength and hope and courage and the washing away of sorrow to you and your family, dear Karen.
