I'm holding you in prayer this Lenten season, that the forces at play in your D not diminish or taint the wonderfulness of your quest for greater truth. I appreciate your push toward Baptism, and believe with you that in God, all things are possible. This D is just a threshold that your W desires to pass through. It has no jurisdiction over the truth.
I agree that the Bible has so many wonderful "layers" of wisdom for us.
Take care of yourself. I'll be celebrating your baptism with you from afar at the Easter Vigil.
