And then some "space junk" fell through their roof. Yes, we must strive to connect the soul with the mind. What a meeting!!

Love ya!

ALEX, IF WE COULD DO ALL THAT ON OUR OWN, WHAT IN THE WORLD WOULD WE NEED GOD FOR(SMILE)? LET ME FIRST SAY, FROM MY EXPERIENCE, AND I CAN ONLY SPEAK FROM MY EXPERIENCE... SPIRITUALITY IS A STATE OF MIND. IT IS IN THERE IN THE HEAD THAT ALL THOUGHTS OF ANY KIND OF CHANGE START. SO THEN, SINCE WE ARE HUMAN AND, AS THE WORD OF GOD STATES, COME SO VERY SHORT OF GOD'S GLORY, HOW DO WE GET TO THE PLACE WHERE WE ARE, AT LEAST, 'TRYING' TO PUT INTO ACTION(TO BE)WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE US TO BE...OR AS YOU TERM IT...DEVELOP SPIRITUALLY? WELL, IF I WAS TRYING TO DEVELOP AND GROW TO BECOME SOMETHING THAT I ADMITTEDLY WAS NOT, I WOULD FIRST HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I REALLY DESIRED TO MAKE A CHANGE. AND I, PERSONALLY-FROM EXPERIENCE, HAVE FOUND THAT 'HUMILITY' IS SOMETHING THAT WE, AS HUMANS BEINGS, OFTEN PROFESS TO HAVE UNTIL IT COMES TO LAYING IT DOWN...CASTING IT ASIDE. BUT, IF WE CAN ADMIT WE ARE LONGING FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH OUR CREATOR, THEN WE KNOW WE HAVE TO BE SHOWN HOW TO GET THERE. THUS, I WOULD SEEK OUT THE VERY BEST TEACHER I COULD AFFORD. AND WOULDN'T I BE DELIGHTED IF I FOUND THAT THE VERY BEST TEACHER...WAS ONE THAT TAUGHT FOR 'FREE'? YOU SEE, I KNOW BECAUSE BEING VERY DISSATISFIED WITH ME AND MY LIFE, I SOUGHT THIS 'FREE' TEACHER. AND AS I EARNESTLY SEARCHED FOR HIM, HE FOUND ME AND LED ME TO A HILL CALLED, CALVARY. AND EVEN NOW, YEARS LATER, I STILL GO BACK THERE TO OUR FIRST MEETING PLACE. THE TEACHER - THE POTTER, HE SENDS ME BACK THERE, OFTEN. WHY? BECAUSE HIS WORD SAYS THAT HIS THINKING, HIS WAYS...ARE HIGHER THAN OURS AS IS THE 'HEAVENS' HIGHER THAN THE GROUND. WHICH MEANS, WE CANNOT GET THERE, BUT ALL HE ASKS US TO DO IS DILIGENTLY, 'TRY'. ALEX, I HAVE WRITTEN AN ARTICLE ENTITLED; 'OUR SIGNIFICANCE', PLEASE READ IT. I COULD GO ON WRITING BUT I THINK THAT THE ARTICLE WILL BETTER EXPLAIN FULLY WHERE I'M COMING FROM. I HOPE YOU CAN 'DIGEST' IT(SMILE)MOST PEOPLE CANNOT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS VERY STIMULATING WORK. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

To listen...

Always,
Deborah

I think the best way to become spiritual is to be very observant and seek out the best that life has to offer. That way, you'll wake up every morning with the sun streaming in, in good spirits.

It is one thing to say it, another to achieve it. Very difficult indeed given the conditions of this world. John
