Thank you, Gary. I have that quote from Theilhard de Chardin posted on my desk, but patience is still a work in progress for me. I'm only now learning to fully appreciate the slow work that God continues to do in my life and in all God's creation. Your message reminds me to be still and let God.
"Patience is still a work in progress for me" -- I'm with you, Sam! I mostly write about things that I struggle with, too. The great dean and New Testament scholar at Cambridge University, Harry Williams, suffered a breakdown (in the 1950's, I think). Afterward, he wrote a book entitled "True Wilderness," in which he vowed that he would no longer speak or write about abstract church doctrines or theology, unless he knew about these things from his own personal experience. It had to be personally "true" for him in this way. He's an important example for me.

Thank you, Gary. Patience is definitely something I need. It is so nice hearing your voice.
You and me both, Joan. And thank you. It is always good to hear from you. I’ll remember you when I’m praying for my own patience.
Thanks Gary. It is always a good reminder to be still before God and let Him to a perfect work
in us and one we cannot do ourselves.
