I know that a lot of people are feeling uncertain and afraid right now. But if you believe in the Salvation offered by the 100% human and 100% God whose entry into this world is traditionally celebrated today, you consequently believe in the following:
- Miracles.
- That all things work together for the good to those who love the Lord and are called according to his purposes.
- That everything will turn out alright in the end.
- Miracles (yes, again).
So get up and keep moving--minus the spirit of fear. And, yes, I'm typing this for myself as much as for you.
Love,
J.
Good to keep in mind. Thanks for the encouraging word/Word.
Merry Christmas!
God bless us, everyone!

Raising a child in todays world is difficult enough; the added expense of a decent Christian education is well beyond my means. I will work as hard as i can, but I must trust that the creator will provide.
It is clear to me that I cannot do this alone. It is clear to me that I must have miracles to make this happen. I know this is the right course to take for my daughter's education, so I know that the miracle will occur.
Thanks for saying out loud what my heart has known now for a while.

Some time ago, I don't know how long, all the Bible study and science study melted in my brain and now I regard *everything,* pretty much, as a miracle (knowing how much of the "material world" is actually "material," has made it hard for me to subscribe to "materialism").
So now I say, borrowing rather sideways from Orwell: everything's a miracle, but some miracles are more miraculous than others.

Reading this after scrolling through your panty bomber posts above it seems providentially precognizent.
