Enjoyed a bit of yard work, then the ole back said.....what you doing? I will say no more, but just food for thought concerning my morning post.....just because a person has their name on a church role does not make them a Saint.....I just did not want to be held responsible for someone thinking just because they were a church member they were home free.....to believe is different than to think---"I believe I will go fishing"----that means "IF" all conditions are met my way, I will go fishing, if not I will postpone----Spiritually to believe is to be connected to, committed to, to have faith in, to rely on, to trust in.....not just a thing of the mind, but a thing of the heart.----think of believe as like glue sticking to something.....to say I believe is way more than I think-----just a passing thought before a shower and college game prep, love the home style tail-gate----today game treat is my lovely bride is making me some Bar-B-Que from fresh pork....hummmmm......
Now just for personal thoughts....if something spiritual just does not register and you really wonder about it, I find that this has worked for me----just step back and say--"God, I just don't get it, I need some help here.."....then wait, God always in His time answers, may be a minute or less, could be a day or 2 maybe even a month or so......but He always get back to you...always!! each time your faith is strengthened----I have a few really neat stories about my experiences in asking and receiving ...God Bless
