Scripture

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

~Galatians 3:26, NKJV

Quote

Christ is God, the all-in-all, or nothing at all.

~C.S. Lewis

The below is all C.S. Lewis. Read it slowly and then read it again. You may need to read it a half dozen times before the message becomes clear. He was an implicit writer which means, he did not make things simple or easy to understand. You have to read and reread. You have to think and ponder.

I would have you, then, friends, remember that faith is the trying of the thing that you do not see, and that you cannot be sure about, a thing that you do not see and which, not seeing, you have doubt about, you can yet try–that is faith; and if you are honest, that will be a great opportunity and a great help to you; it will start a fresh faith which you have not thought of before, and give your life a new start. Faith is intended to put to the test the unseen world of truth, love, law, hope, redemption. God grant us all faith enough to carry on from point to point till the faith shall vanish into light, and we have never to think about faith more, nor to think about Church more, nor the Bible more, nor prayer more, but our whole being shall be a delighted consciousness of the presence of God and His Christ.

God will not give us little things to spoil our appetite for great things. God will never be content until we are one with Him as He is one with Christ.

Not a normal blog I admit; I am a little pressed for time today and it is the only draft I had. There is a lot more to it than what is above but I was afraid you would not read a long blog. LORD willing, we will share some more later.

Christy did not get great news in New Orleans. Surgery in her case is not an option. If I understood correctly, it would only make things worse. She is to continue with her chemo treatments. She has a good attitude. I pray for her daily and I hope you do also. LORD willing, I am going to try to see Billy Turney today. I had a good visit with him Sunday evening..

Josie has a soccer game at her grandmothers alma mater tonight. Thank goodness it is supposed to warm up. It was OK last night until the sun went down.

Have a great day and thanks for reading the blog. I didn’t have time to proof it.
