Sometimes it seems like ...Thank you for your post. Sometimes it seems like God shows up especially in those unexpected places, that He surprises us and will not be put into a box. And confession is so important too. It clears up our ears to hear Him. Also, it is only within the context of recognizing who we are as imperfect, broken creatures that we are able to recognize who He is--perfect and holy. Apart from this, we are living in an imaginary world, a false reality.The Walkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570043119276275869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184070.post-73991385128745112432008-03-26T21:20:00.000-04:002008-03-26T21:20:00.000-04:00L.L., Yes, I think it can.

It is not taken seriously, for the most part, I'm afraid. We're not set to do it. A great loss, indeed.Ted M.
