Hi everyone and thanks for reminding me that I'm OLD.
What I usually think about this month is that my daughter and my wife both have to share this time.
July 10, 12, 18th. So we all just pool our resources and go out to Bob Evans for breakfast. Ha ha.
I almost died in 1987 so I've had an extra 25 years and it has been a time of refocusing and regeneration of sorts.
I learn slowly and mostly by trial and error. I think the Lord does it that way quite often.
So by now I'm just glad to have the opportunity to know all of you lovely people, even when some of you are grouchy or really carnally human. I like it because it reminds me to be forgiving and to check the mirror for the flaws in my own reflection. It is the most fun.... when Lord Jesus lets me feel proud of myself for a week or two and then shows me the real me. WOW what a shock that can be!
Anyway, thanks for the kind comments and just remember when we write something on the order of correction it is best to edit, edit, edit and then wait 24 hours before sending. Quite often it will need another final edit.
Notice how in Revelation 3 the Lord Jesus corrects one of the churches.
First a complement, next correction, then reassurance of his love.
Seems like a great approach for us to follow.
Bob
