Gordie, thank you so much. I did not write a proper reply but read what you wrote many times and have been trying to imprint your perspective on myself whenever confusion threatens. I want a heart-brain likes yours -- you are able to see things so clearly right away and to state them in so few words, but the words never sound terse or harsh, only patient and wise. This is a gift in both writing and just in your humanity. I am very thankful!
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
