What I Believe
QUOTE OF THE WEEK

[t]he Spirit of God shows to us hidden things, the knowledge of which cannot reach our senses: Promised to us is eternal life, but it is promised to the dead; we are assured of a happy resurrection, but we are as yet involved in corruption; we are pronounced just, as yet sin dwells in us; we hear that we are happy, but we are as yet in the midst of many miseries; an abundance of all good things is promised to us, but still we often hunger and thirst; God proclaims that he will come quickly, but he seems deaf when we cry to him. What would become of us were we not supported by hope, and did not our minds emerge out of the midst of darkness above the world through the light of God’s word and of his Spirit? Faith, then, is rightly said to be the subsistence or substance of things which are as yet the objects of hope and the evidence of things not seen.John Calvin, Calvin's Commentaries, Hebrews 11

Giving Thanks in November

I talked to my brother on the phone for a long time last night.  It was a lively conversation and I enjoyed it immensely!  I'm glad to be reconnecting with my brother.  Say what you will about Facebook--I'm glad to be connecting again with my cousins and nieces and nephews and especially, my brother, Kevin.

How wonderful that you've reconnected with your brother, and other family members as well! I've shied away from Facebook, but you've pulled the good out of it.

What a blessing Kim, I'm so happy for you and your family.

I LOVE Facebook! I don't spend as much time on it as I could, but it has connected me with many people I otherwise wouldn't be in touch with. In fact, in September, I got together with two of my high school friends, one of whom I haven't seen in 16 years--all thanks to Facebook!

Glad you're in touch with your friends and family there, too, Kim. XO
