As you know, I get Richard Rohr's daily newsletter and I confess that during the past six months I've been clicking "delete" more often than not. But today's Advent post really resonated with me, and I'm thrilled to see your mention and explore it. Thank you for that. The second paragraph was particularly meaningful to me and helped me to realize why I chafe at "accepting" my own desire to "be happy." It sort of gives me permission to feel a bit conflicted -- <br /><br />I'm going to read this post over and over -- I'm certain there's more to discover.<br /><br />And I'm thinking that you really should write a book.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-21286976203785592772010-12-02T18:43:14.541-08:002010-12-02T18:43:14.541-08:00Your post is so profound.

But on the other hand, for a variety of reasons, I feel that it is difficult to truly connect with people who haven't suffered.<br /><br />I am going to save and share your post with a dear friend whose father recently suffered a terrible accident with permanent debilitating consequences. I know it will resonate with her and their family, all of whom have an abiding faith in God's ability to use all things for good. (And by that, I don't mean to say that God intends the bad or suffering-inducing events to happen.)<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to share your intimate thoughts with us. It is a blessing.

Two halves of a whole that cannot...Heaven and Hell. Two halves of a whole that cannot be separated. A microcosm of human experiences, teaching and learning, sounds and silence.<br /><br />Without compassion there will be no redemption because what are we if not the expression of our own beliefs whatever they may be, but those beliefs without compassion are empty shells, devoid of truth and empathy, what makes us understand the relationship between Heaven and Hell and the reason for it to exist in our own lives.<br /><br />Hoping time will bring less pain and more sweet memories at this time, specially at this time of the year.

We felt strongly about the words "perseverance, character, hope and God's love" when describing how we felt about Erin and the rest of us who spent three years practicing the endurance that is required in the cancer world of which you speak. <br /><br />And I, too, am thankful for the compassion - the heaven, for without that, we would all drown in our sorrow.Mary Pottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952052366072701992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-84511705797190467092010-12-02T10:06:32.518-08:002010-12-02T10:06:32.518-08:00um,
