Jesus apparently was a typical teenager in his response to his mother’s frantic worry.

Certainly the magnificence of the colors, the majesty of the pounding waves, the coolness of the ocean water, the taste of salt on my skin inform me I am in the presence of God. But the scent of the salt, the sand, the water, even the flats at low tide, awaken God’s presence deep within my soul as no other sense. Perhaps there is something to the memory of a smell from my childhood in this sensation but I believe it is more than that.

Maybe it’s the wind carrying the fragrances to the congregation but it’s gift.

God has made it for many toi feel jealous of me. People can not encash Bible’s cheques. Just stay in Fear & Loving care of God & its a done deal.

I’m so sorry to hear it, and I’ll be thinking of and praying for you guys. Your post made me think about my grandfather a lot, and how much I miss him and my grandmother. (There is in fact a photo of me perched on my grandfather’s lap on a ride-on-lawnmower.) It was very strange when my grandmother died, since she’d had Alzheimer’s for years and was basically just surviving in a hospital until her body went the way of her mind. So, when she died it was like she had already been gone for a long time, and it was difficult to grieve. I think I’m still trying to figure out how to grieve for her, and it’s been about three years. Anyway, call me if you want to talk about grandparents.

Hugs,
Abby

Your sermon connects me to “Who am I” by Casting Crowns. This song and the lyrics can be found on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=othmFqaw0Yk. The song opens as follows:

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you’ve done.
Not because of what I’ve done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I’m calling,
Lord, you catch me when I’m falling,
And you’ve told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Thank you and bless you for your moving and helpful reflection on the passing of my father, your grandfather.
Love,
Dad
