I don't need final answers to them. I just need to ask as many of the right questions as I can. Sometimes its in pondering the right questions that God's direction becomes most clear. Besides, when it comes to people sharing life together and living out compassion and mercy and justice, claiming God's grace as unconditional love and offering that to others in whatever way is possible, might be the best answer for most questions.

At least can we be replenished like that so that we are compassionate as God is compassionate, and reach out to replenish one another?" That sounds like the title of a blog I know. ;-) I finished reading this entire post! Whew! “And finally, can we claim the message of Grace for ourselves that welcomes us to **simply rest in our Lord**, dwell in the midst of his presence and promise to be with us, and be replenished by our God of love as we need to be?

I do so enjoy getting to know you and your family through the various posts by you, Sis. Karen, Sarah and David. I've posted here before, but didn't have my own blog yet, so now my name may show up differently. My comments here may seem disjointed. I'm trying to get them typed up and sent off so I can head to bed. I was intrigued to see that you have a re-loading center. I'm happy for your short commute. Hopefully the early-arrivers to the Storage and Freezer areas are considerate and quiet. I've been thinking more about community since I started listening to a weekly radio program (or the podcast associated with it) done by Michael Card. His show focuses each week on three C's: Commentary, Community and Creativity. Bit by bit I want to work these more into my life for God's glory. Whenever I see questions, I read them over with a thought towards trying to answer them if I can. You've asked some real stumpers though. I'll be praying that the Lord, who had all the answers before you asked the questions, will be in touch with you in his perfect time to provide the desired direction, provision, courage and whatever else you might need. I thought about adding patience to the list, but it's probably best if you pray for that yourself, only as often as you're ready for the next dose of trials by which it is worked. :) Sometimes my comments get pretty long , even when I'm trying to write quickly. I hope I'm not an abusing your comment feature here, and I hope this finds you well. Best regards, Benjamin That’s probably the longest blog post I’ve read in a good while.
