SPEAKING OF FAITH: Bearing much fruit…
“Go back to Isaiah, yes, and we see this is the Day. We see what happens on Day One of the first year, Year Two and then in Year Three, we see it is where we will reap what has been sown by us.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: Change by growing in faith
“If a person is having problems loving their enemies, something’s not right. When one gets cut off in traffic, one doesn’t have to like that, but neither should they act a fool. Is it possible not to be like that? If one is rooted in the right place the fruit will work itself out. How can that happen? Look at one’s neighbor and say, he doesn’t always get it right, but he’s getting better and better.
COMMENTARY: Buying love
I spent 27 years of my life with dogs. I mean, I had dogs before, and a couple of cats, but the dogs and cats before adulthood, and my pets were really my mother’s responsibility along with me. I wasn’t primary caretaker then. I was as dependent for my life as the pets were. Mom let me say that they were my pets, but the reality was that they were her pets.
