LS... thanks for the July 4th wishes!

Now, if I had to explain "8 track tape" to someone, or "reel to reel," I'd have no problem with that. But "cassette tape" isn't that old, is it? ;) hehehe

Hi Joel,

Happy July 4th to you and yours south of the border!

I enjoyed this post but have one question…you said you were “listening to a tape”…how do you listen to a “tape”…as in duct tape? ;)

SW... I'm glad this spoke to you today. For some reason this post holds a special place in my heart. I think it brings out the reality that sometimes we get our eyes off of Jesus and yet also brings out the truth that He's never gone anywhere! We're solid and secure in Him.

"...in the absence of "feeling" close to God we can often lose our perspective of the truth, that we are truly near to God all the time. We may consciously or subconsciously begin to try to create superficial atmospheres or experiences which we think will "bring us closer" to God, and when those things fail (to produce emotions, or feelings of closeness) it's very easy to think (again, either consciously or subconsciously) that something is wrong in our relationship with God. Our weaknesses and other failures in life just add to it. And for me, even though I know the truth, that Jesus alone is what has made me right with God and keeps me right with God - I still go off into that land where I have feelings of uncertainty about where I stand with God.."...you hit the nail on the head for me. Thanks for reposting this Joel. I really needed to read this today.

Becky, I'm glad you like it! And I'm glad the browser is working ok today. I've been messing around with it a little more and I just can't figure out why it's been having problems. Hopefully the problem is taken care of.
