Despite (or because of??) persecution and suffering, faith flourished and the Good News spread. In this world, there is no rock, but Christ, to cling to.

Check out the often passed over line "but some doubted" in Matthew 28:17. Or the entire book of Job (esp. 42:7).<br /><br />Thank God for the Bible. If we didn't have all these stories about people struggling and doubting, we'd just have pie in the sky. One could preach a whole sermon series on the great doubters.<br /><br />---cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506702.post-7615622291127566032010-01-04T09:50:56.526-08:002010-01-04T09:50:56.526-08:00Agreed, Mr. Stratton.

I remember very clearly choosing the Dodgers when they were still in Brooklyn because everyone else I knew loved the Yankees. I used to grab the sports page and check the standings on a regular basis. When the Dodgers moved out here, I was absolutely delighted, and by then I was old enough to listen to the games on the radio as I did my homework. Those were the days of Duke Snyder, Pee Wee Reese, Gil Hodges, the incredible Roy Campanella before his injury, Junior Gillian (SP?), etc. My, how I loved the team and the game! As life busied up, I started to drift away, too consumed with other responsibilities to keep up, or so I thought at the time. Perhaps someday........<br />Anyway, enjoy your Angels, but please don't hate the Dodgers!grammyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506702.post-17308011335028238132009-10-16T08:25:11.287-07:002009-10-16T08:25:11.287-07:00The Buber is quoted from Maurice Friedman's, M...The Buber is quoted from Maurice Friedman's, Martin Buber, The Life of Dialogue.<br /><br />The Lewis is quoted from W.
