She said that she didn't think so. I couldn't believe all that had already been done and all that still could be done with 12 notes.<br /><br />It reminds me of pondering. What path will it follow?<br /><br />I never equated being "realistic" to having a lot of questions. That is interesting. Can you sense me pondering that now?<br /><br />Btw, hubby bought the "Sacred Fire." Reading in small chunks, up to page 40. So far, I appreciate what he's written about life stages. Yup, feeling it.<br /><br />Very much looking forward to reading your latest post but my eye is telling me to take a break so I will definitely come back to it later. <br /> <br /><br /> Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074990352248493598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221632971374321312.post-40318294752973819222014-10-03T10:15:48.983-04:002014-10-03T10:15:48.983-04:00Did you ever think it funny, Mich, that being &quo...Did you ever think it funny, Mich, that being "realistic" comes down to having a lot of questions? Am about post shortly on the state of the universe, a deep dark hole where my granddaughter has had me spelunking the last few days. That first Rolheiser book, "Holy Longing', started good and then left me when he started down another trail. HIs sequel "Sacred Fire", started off slow, fed me well in the middle, and then drifted somewhere else again. One of the things he talked about in this last one, though, was Mary "pondering" what the angel told her. Pondering, he says, is encouraged by God. I'm hoping that's so, because it is usually where I am throughout most days...

Just find our message, so often in Pentecost, seemingly suggesting immediate deliverance always accomplished, the only requirement being "faith" on both sides of the event. Problem is: we fail to define "faith" as it really is......
