One of the things I most like to do in life is to help people develop a fact based believe system rather than beliefs based on anything else.  Our convictions should not be based on our experiences, our faith, our feelings,  how comforting a belief is or on our convictions on the inerrantcy of the whole Bible or on anything else.  Christian convictions should be built on our convictions about the essential  accuracy of the biblical account of Christ, His death and His resurrection and His promise that "I will never leave you or forsake you".   This kind of faith is likely to survive the tragedies that surround our lives.

Things are going quite well for us ages 78 and 80.  Our health is very good and having our three kids and some grand kids (ages 12 and 13) living very near us is a great blessing.  I have great sympathy for folks getting older and their kids living far away.  Barb and our middle daughter, Suzanne,  and her two kids just returned from a week away on Vancouver Island in Canada.

Back to normal.  Please give me an up date our yourselves.

Feeling, Faith and Fact

Three men were walking on a wall,
Feeling, Faith, and Fact.
When Feeling took an awful fall
and Faith was taken back.
So close was Faith to Feeling
that he stumbled and fell too.
But Fact remained and pulled up Faith,
and Faith brought Feeling too.
