HAPPY APRIL 16th BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!!!

"So let me ask you--are you somehow ashamed that you have doubted God's presence in the midst of a personal health crisis? Then I ask you to put your shame aside this day-and join me now here in this company of faithful doubters. Are you somehow fearful that you have questioned God's love because you have been hurt and wounded by people you thought were your friends? Then I ask you to put your fear aside this day-and join me now in this company of questioning believers. Are you somehow embarrassed that you have lost a sense of God's presence in your life because you are lonely, or depressed, or struggling with work or family relationships. Then I ask you to put your embarrassment aside this day-and join me now in this company of people who believe that God's Spirit is with us-day after day after day-even when we cannot sense it or feel it. But most importantly, I want you to know this! Even with all of your doubts, God will never, never ever banish you from the table of faith. You will always be a welcomed guest-this day and all days-even to the end of the age!"
