John,
The Bible verse on my app was from Romans 8, and I just felt the nudge to read the whole chapter. It’s never felt sweeter. I was thankful to understand it! When I was reading the verses about the flesh, I could see Donna in the meeting yesterday pulling at her skin. We are covered in it, but we have the Spirit too! There was even a verse about sheep going off to the slaughter just like Amy’s parable from their trip to Ohio. We all know 8:28 which was Gary’s song about all things working for our good! So many wonderful verses in chapter 8…it’s just us living our lives in God!
Also, I had a thought after reading our paper yesterday about how Jesus didn’t have a form, and he put people at ease around him to ask questions or interrupt him, for example. I thought if we are to be like him, I want to put people at ease around me. I want to be approachable. It’s just another way to be like Jesus.
I’m so thankful for Bess’ blessing. It’s all still soaking in today.
