S. certainly had an interesting twist to Proverbs 10:19 Certainly was much wisdom in her twist to the verse! I've been working at scripture memory myself of late, and I can get some interesting and new translations to scripture myself! So for a young girl, she's not doing too bad!! So let's all keep working at hiding God's Word in our hearts! You asked for thaoughts on modern day weeping and wailing and repentance in sack cloth and ashes. I truly believe there is something to be said about lamenting one's sins and repenting over our sins and the evil that we see around us. I have just read the book, The Heavenly Man, by Paul Hattaway. It is a story of a Christian man from China and the suffering he went through for the cause of Christ. He carries such a passion to share Christ with the lost. Truly it gave me a lot to think about as I learned more of the importance of taking our sin issues more seriously and understanding how my sins cause such pain and grief to my heavenly Father. After reading this book, I came to realize how I have so much to learn about suffering for Christ and to be able to count it all joy!" Oh that I could begin to grasp the depth, breadth and vast love and Grace the Father has bestowed upon us! Thanks for the thought provoking questions! Our love to you all! Carolyn Schantz
Hey! I just read your comment in a previous post about "more miles than a Mennonite Toyota". hahahaha. Our Mennonite Toyota (380,000 km, I think) just bit the dust. We think it's totally dead. So, that comment caught my eye.
My brain is too full to keep it all inside...here's where the excess leaks out.
I'm a wife of 1, mother of 4, sister to 3 and friend to many. Life is hard, but good because of God's grace.
