"Some day you will read in the papers, 'D. L. Moody of East Northfield is dead.' Don't you believe a word of it! "At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now; I shall have gone up higher, that is all, out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal -- a body that death cannot touch, that sin cannot taint; a body fashioned like unto His glorious body. I was born of the flesh in 1837. I was born of the Spirit in 1856. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit will live forever. Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him. I will try my utmost to be that man. -D.L. Moody

Ken and Floy invited the stranger in - not to scapegoat me, but to listen and to learn and to dialogue. Ken and Floy have a vulnerable and transparent faith. We didn't debate worldview; we talked about our personal truth and "what makes us tick." Ken and Floy didn't identify with me. They listened to me and identified with Christ. They were willing to walk the long journey with me in Christian compassion. During our meal, they did not share the gospel with me. After our meal, they did not invite me to church. Because of these glaring omissions to the Christian script as I had come to know it, when the evening ended and Pastor Ken said he wanted to stay in touch, I knew that it was truly safe to accept his open hand. Before I ever stepped foot in a church, I spent two years meeting with Ken and Floy on and off "studying" scripture and my heart. If Ken and Floy had invited me to church at that first meal I would have careened like a skateboard on a cliff, and would have never come back. Ken, of course, knows the power of the word preached but it seemed to me he also knew at the time that I couldn't come to church - it would have been too threatening, too weird too much. So, Ken was willing to bring the church to me. This gave me the room and the safety that I needed to match Ken and Floy's vulnerability and transparency. And so I opened up to them. I let them know who I was and what I valued. I invited them into my home and into my world. They met my friends, came to my dinner parties, saw me function in my real life. They made themselves safe enough for me to do this. -rosaria butterfield, "the secret thoughts of an unlikely convert"

"See what we are insisting upon; that the deeds of men are only discerned by the root of charity. For many things may be done that have a good appearance, and yet proceed not from the root of charity. For thorns also have flowers: some actions truly seem rough, seem savage; howbeit they are done for discipline at the bidding of charity. Love God and do whatever you please: for the soul trained in love to God will do nothing to offend the One who is Beloved. Whether thou hold thy peace, through love hold thy peace; whether thou cry out, through love cry out; whether thou correct, through love correct; whether thou spare, through love do thou spare: let the root of love be within, of this root can nothing spring but what is good." - St. Augustine "You took these lesser things, and you drove them from me in Your great grace; and there in their place you have given me Yourself O God; you, O God, are my sovereign Joy."

who is it that decides when the credits will show when? (doesn't all flash at the same speed)

she led me trustingly through the mineral bath today. and then i slept. like a weaned child ps. five miles a day???

are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another? (where else shall we go?)

"at some point, you're going to have to give up the idea that you don't know what you're doing, because you do" is another way of saying "you can't wait for permission forever."
