Our hope lies in the fact that the tomb is empty even today.<BR/><BR/>Thea, your kind comments are truly appreciated. You know, if the voices of dissension weren't the voices of people we have grown to love and trust, it would be so much easier to deal with them wouldn't it?Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406445533353691421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150974407718812261.post-55842291914845710312008-03-31T18:33:00.001-04:002008-03-31T18:33:00.001-04:00"Commit yourself to doing what God called you to d..."Commit yourself to doing what God called you to do no matter how many dissenting voices there are" - this can be so hard, especially when the dissenting voices are the voices of those you love the most...a timely reminder for me. It's the whole "audience of one" thing - I try to remind myself that ultimately I will stand before God alone...it lends me perspective to say the least. What awesome wisdom in that short list - I'm really looking forward to reading this when it comes out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150974407718812261.post-35686665709041943392008-03-31T16:45:00.000-04:002008-03-31T16:45:00.000-04:00Jessy, thanks for you kind comment.

It is true that it is often difficult to accept the idea of success when the physical results seem to suggest differently. I personally have to remind myself that defining success any other way suggests that it's up to me and not up to God.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406445533353691421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3150974407718812261.post-81745892512720915922008-03-31T15:59:00.000-04:002008-03-31T15:59:00.000-04:00I wish that someone would have told me about Jesus...I wish that someone would have told me about Jesus - not the story of "baby Jesus in a manger" the whole story!

My fav part of your blog is how God defines our success based on obedience not on the results, or how we perceive them. That's so difficult at times, especially when the results are rather icky.Jessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640729973246431175noreply@blogger.com
