though I am struggling with the notion that "God" is something so incomprehensible that its existence might be too easily discounted given our paltry minds and senses.

YES! I know exactly what you mean! (Or at least, I know exactly how what you said meant something to me!)

I didn't remember that about the remission. I read Surprised By Joy, and what I recall is how furious he was when she did die, and how long it took for him to accept it.

If I consider that enormous incomprehensible force, I find I have to leave behind almost all the manmade ideas of miracles and saving grace and hellfire, all the boxy things that I think man created. It's the only way I think I will ever get back to something resembling a belief.

You have just given me a SPLENDID idea for Dan's gift!!! A PERFECT idea! Two years ago, I gave him Band of Brothers and we all watched it and it was the best family time ever. We often talk about belief when the boys are here and they are now old enough to really enjoy something like this!
I am SO excited!!! ORdering NOW!
