this I know...

As intimately as a man knows a woman
As intimately as a child is knit together in his mother’s womb
So intimate is our Heavenly Father’s love for us.
It is a deep and very personal “knowing” of the individual that reaches even deep into a person’s soul.
It is the heart of the Father to know us.
It is the heart of the Holy Spirit to make Himself known.
It is the heart of Jesus to ever live to make intercession for us before the Father’s throne.
So deeply may we trust the Father’s plan, may we trust the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. And, deeply, true, may we “know fully, even as we are fully known” with confidence that all that Jesus says He will do, He Will Rightly Accomplish within our lives.
We know the Spirit of Truth. We know the Father’s love for us. We know that, through Jesus, we are fully “known”. And, as we know, it is by His Word of Truth that we are kept by His mighty and righteous right hand. 7/10/10

one June night...

It was a cloudless, moonless night along Lake Huron. The wind brushed softly through the pines and waves lapped gently on the shore. Dark velvet sky with stars spread like torches across the heavens. Brilliant they were. So bright, that the waves were lit up by their glow. I was in love.

As we had walked up I thought, "God, I am so in love with you and so in love with Bob and the stars are so bright-I have never seen so many stars before. This would be a perfect time to see you, or an angel." Nestled up against the tree, we had just begun to snuggle when an awful awareness came upon us. Mushrooming on and under the surface of t...

a proud member of the "chip-n'-dale" community

It took a year of knawing--dogs poised and ready, before Mr. Chip broke through but finally, his creative genious had gone too far. Regretfully, I baited a trap and set it at the door of "Mr. Chip". "Put it at the entry," I was told. Observing the large hole Mr. Chip had created between the porch and the doorframe and remembering his diligence in also chewing out the expandable foam I had used, the trap was set. Not only had said industrial genius distained my efforts to dissuade him when I sprayed castor oil (chippy, chippy, knaw, knaw), he overlooked the threshold enhancer of habanero and garlic as a mere inconvenience. Now, he has taken the first Woodstream "V" trap, relocating it to the bowels of his domain under the porch AND he has taken the second Woodstream "V" trap which I placed at his porchly outlook and pushed it, closed and empty, several feet away from said overlook and to a corner on the ground away from the entrance. What...
