But I find that no matter how I think about or entertain new thoughts...I still always feel most at home with the cross. I guess for me, that is where I find love and peace.<BR/><BR/>I like to hear others thoughts like this. I think often people feel afraid to speak of it, not wanting to offend.<BR/><BR/>:)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680903854519503303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-54705584321331101512007-05-07T16:35:00.000-07:002007-05-07T16:35:00.000-07:00Wow Darlene - as always, I'm blown away by your co...Wow Darlene - as always, I'm blown away by your courage, taking on such a deep topic with your signature grace. God is love - I so agree (I'm one of the recipients of his amazing patience). I'd add that my heart has been wrong before, which is (forgive the pun) heartbreaking. I find the Bible a really helpful roadmap for finding the path through all the maybes when I'm wondering, "is this God?"Trish Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038324441006141430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-2102381891753660212007-05-05T22:34:00.000-07:002007-05-05T22:34:00.000-07:00Here another thing that resembles a cross when we ...Here another thing that resembles a cross when we all participate! <BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL7Jo_1Z3Y8<BR/><BR/>Enjoy! =)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794368151343373086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-59893742462049102572007-05-05T12:56:00.000-07:002007-05-05T12:56:00.000-07:00Beautiful post, full of thought provoking wisdom! ...Beautiful post, full of thought provoking wisdom!

He abolished the laws of the old testiment to bring us back into God's true nature...love, mercy, deep forgiveness and grace.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to tit for tat this subject, my point really resides in looking at ourselves, our choices and the idea's brought before us and a loving way to handle them.<BR/><BR/>Love to you Gracey :)<BR/>xoxo dDarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081653211179263967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-71300653217178382232007-05-05T09:59:00.000-07:002007-05-05T09:59:00.000-07:00I like this post.

Your spirit shows through your words. I like that putting it on a shelf idea very much. That is something that will always stick with me now. Thank you!! <BR/><BR/>And just to comment on Gracie's post above : God doesn't punish us, it's our free will and the choices we make that sends problems and hardships. God isn't negative, only good!! He loves us unconditionally!! Sorry to butt in, but I want people to understand the concept and get rid of the saying, "Why did God do this to me?" He did't Satan did, to try and turn your focus away from God. <BR/><BR/>Teresa<BR/>xxxoooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-54898552863018604742007-05-04T10:57:00.000-07:002007-05-04T10:57:00.000-07:00Do you mean God never punishes us even when we go ...Do you mean God never punishes us even when we go against His Word and sin against Him?

To me, as a Christian it is summed up best when I can love my neighbor as myself.<BR/><BR/>So often, it is difficult for some of us to remember that we are all put on this earth for a season. When we can love unconditionally as Christ loves us, then life is easier and we have a greater impact.<BR/><BR/>I think your seeing the beauty in the world and sharing that with your blog readers is one way that you are having an impact.<BR/><BR/>Sweet sister ... hope that the web site is coming along.
