I just had a thought: punctuation marks exist in the written word and in life. commas, periods... exclamation points! They divide our existence into discrete moments, allowing us to catch our breath before we begin the next sentence, helping us better understand our time here on earth. In life, the question marks are sometimes the hardest to understand, the most frightening. They leave so much to the imagination, what happens next? Yet, question marks are good for the soul. They reveal where our hopes are, what we fear, who or what we trust. So much of what we hold on to in this life is a mirage. Job security, financial stability, prestige, power, relationships: these are as unsure as our lives themselves. Sometimes the best thing to do during a time of questioning is to let the questions dig deep into our soul. Who are we? What are we living for? I’m a hopeful questioner myself… -Jon Foremani just thought this was a great thought. i like to hear what other people have to say about issues that i think about often. it is really inspiring isnt it? all these questions will determine how we spend our limited time here, on this outrageous planet full of hoplessness. It is so desperate for the hope of our savior! But more importantly, where each and every one of us spend our eternity.
eternity. That is such a long time. that is forever. we are such stupid people that we dont lay down our lives without question, doubt or reserve. For all that our lord and savior has done for us...i just get sick of my selfishness.
Love Love Love.

Hello my lovely!
Your impatience with your selfishness does you a favor. It is kind of selfish that we insist upon questioning why WE of all people should lay down our lives. I mean, come on! We might get hurt! (please notice the sarcasm) But I understand what you mean. People don't realize the sacrifice done for us, so we don't realize the sacrifice we should make daily. But I think you're getting it. I encourage you, sister, to continue this train of thought more closely. You are on to something.
Hello my lovelier!
why is everything you say always right on target? I love that and much more about you. i totally agree about laying down our lives being a favor for ourselves. again, we are such stupid people. I have been riding this train of thought for many months, i hope it keeps on going though, i am learning more than i could have hoped. by the way since i dont know who this is (ANNA!!!!) it would be really nice if you could start posting your name so i know who i'm talking to. OH, and by the way, remember that one time....? LOL! Girl, i love you to the ends of the earth!
my dear, to state a name is to state an identity which might cause your opinion about what I say to differ from that of a stranger. The point, lovely, is to allow you to read something and judge it for what it's worth, not by who said it.
