You know, sometimes I feel like the little girl who was frightened by a great storm in the middle of the night, and she called out to her daddy in the next room. Her daddy came in and said: “Why are you afraid, don’t you know that God is with you and He’ll take care of you?” And she said, “Yes daddy, I know God loves me and He’ll take care of me, but right now I need someone with skin on to love me!”
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need “someone with skin on to love me”. I don’t doubt God’s presence for one moment – never have. I trust Him that things are going to work out. But there’s moments that I need to hear an audible voice tell me it’s going to be OK – to feel a physical embrace.
I feel that way today……..
And that’s where the church comes in….God’s love with skin on.
In the Bonds of Calvary,
my thoughts, my approach, my heart

As if I don’t get sad enough about being away, you have to go and post this!!! i think that when I get there on Thursday I am going to squeeze you so tight that your head might pop off!!!
I love you!
ps… if Jayme was going to be a good granddaughter in law, she would probably practice regular hugging to ensure that you did not feel this lonliness.

I give you regular hugs, if I was to give you anymore than people would start to wonder!?!?!? So, if you ever need more hugs, I am always here.
But thanks for the concern B.
