><>...Good morning I2...><> Thank you for your prayers. I know that you and others have been praying for me. I have sensed them...at the most trying of times. And every lousy day that I go on without my loving son...the life of my life.... are still filled with so many trying hours....day after day after day.! I have shaken my fists directly at God in verbal anger and pure rage. It has been almost 10 months and my fist still is directed at him.....just not as often, and with less rage. But still I am angry. All my life I gave my all for him. I always believed and had FAITH!!! I believed even though I never saw him. I had faith always in the face of doubt. I preached him wherever I went....to all who ever questioned. I encouraged and tried to lift up anyone who ever needed to believe that God even existed. I always trusted and believed that God would always take care of my family And loved ones.....wow I could not have been more wrong. My son also believed and had great faith in God. He lived his life believing and trusting in God. He spoke of Jesus and his love... to anyone who ever asked. He was a friend to all people. He was loved by all who knew him. There was a time when I was young...when I knew not much of anything. There was a time when I was not too young that I knew it all Now as I approach the twilight of my life I know one thing...I know nothing at all. My entire conscious life all I have ever done was study and learn. The last twenty or so years I have dedicated myself to the study of (among other disciplines) the Bible. For one reason...... I always believed it was the inerrant word of God my Father. I read it and studied it as though it was a family history. I loved the study of it. I considered it a wonderful love letter to be read by all... I debated that history with the best of minds....and hearts. With friends and foe alike. But I have always known somehow, that a good listener, a sincere listener, was by far the best educator. Everyone wants the floor. Everyone wants to speak. Everyone want to be heard....and most of all... Everyone wants to be right. I see it all the time. It is everywhere! This world is jammed packed with words and information....And 97% of it it useless...totally useless. Again I say.... I know one thing is for sure.....I know nothing! And the more I learn, the more I know I know nothing! Please forgive me I2 if I have gone on too long. I didn't intend to. In the end there are no answers to thousands of questions, tens of thousands maybe hundreds of thousands...although there will always be someone who will say he has the answers...or in the least they say... can be sought out. Not so! Not even from the Bible! Even if...it is the word of God. I have reconciled one thing with myself: That now in the sunset of my life I want to spend the rest of it with those who know that they know one thing...Nothing!...... And by chance together we may learn something...But not too much that our heads cannot contain it...or surely the head must keep getting bigger and bigger!!..... But just enough to make our hearts more loving and per chance the heart needs to get bigger...and that's a good thing. Shalom
