Like an engineer understands a car he or she designed, no one understands your limitations and possibilities better than the God who created you.

I'd once heard a spiritual "riddle" that went like this: "What's the only thingin heaven that's the same as it was on earth?"The answer: the wounds in Jesus' hands and feet.

Is heaven a hope or as real as the earth and sky?

The Bible's been attacked. What is truth? It's relative.

...when I was angry at God because I couldn't go to my son, hold him, and comfort him, God's son was holding my son in his lap.

Jesus clearly viewed children as precious - and that if he loved kids enough to say that adults should be more like them, we should spend more time loving them too.

Being a pastor, of course, obviously people would say it (shouldn't) have done much but, boy, it sure gave me a peace I never had before. I think we struggle in life. Even people of faith struggle when things don't work out quite the way we think they should.
