No, seriously... well said. Such ...What accent? ;)<br /><br />No, seriously... well said. Such a good word about withholding love, and learning to instead to give it freely.Hope R.

She changed the path I walk on, too.<br /><br />That first Miller quote- the one about withholding love? I cried when I read that the first time (and the second). I saw myself in that and I was ashamed. Someday, Joseph, someday we will get this stuff well and truly inside of us!<br /><br />For the record? I LIKE YOUR ACCENT. :P I always have and I always will. There are still times when I struggle with things that I hear you saying, "Jessica, Jessica, Jessica" and it is comforting to know that you saw me for what I was.

It's so easy to arrogantly find security in what you're taught in church and by those you trust only to realize you never learned the lesson or understood it to begin with. I feel like each day is a process for me in so many ways with regard to my relationship with the Lord and becoming more like Him and I can confidently say I have not mastered any one thing. <br /><br />Dealing with each individual person on his or her own merit takes energy and effort..it also requires compassion; three things we often lack or fail to make use of. I hope I'm able to do that more and more.<br /><br />For what it's worth I always liked your accent but I never expected you to speak with a thick accent or to be unintelligible. I like English accents of caucasian people too! Most of them aren't as articulate or as big as you are so maybe therein lies the difference! I suppose a large white man who looked like a linebacker with a great accent and wonderful grasp of the English language would be as interesting and notable. Let's face it - how many guys with great accents do you know who aren't skinny white guys? Maybe common across the pond but here - not so much. I also have always loved Sola's smile but I have to also admit that her deep skin tone makes her teeth so gorgeously white and accentuates her eyes so beautifully that it's impossible not to notice! :)Theahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708727119966585137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150974407718812261.post-17641001673469351962009-10-17T10:57:31.945-04:002009-10-17T10:57:31.945-04:00And THIS is one of the many reasons I love you so ...And THIS is one of the many reasons I love you so much...!SThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502081697425253129noreply@blogger.com
