Phil;
I have to say,"Amen" to several of your responses.
First,your exercise of being kind to others is one of the Gates on the Road to the Crown of Life.
Second, I have to say "Amen" to your insight that you can never find happiness in material things or in another person. One of the things that I found out when I was in the City of Peace was that we are slaves to the materialness of the world. We have been made to believe a lie that material things will bring you happiness.
And third,you believe in a God that wants you to have an abundant life, free of suffering, and I have to say "Amen" to that.
But Phil, reasonable men disagree and being reasonable, I disagree with one of your observations. But that can be done via email unless you want me to post my disagreement here.
But Phil, I believe that the disagreement is too small for us to argue about it. I believe that your posts indicate a love for God and that is what counts to me.
Shalom, Phil.
Lou
