Thank you for your prayers! Elijah did so much better today, as did the other children. We were finally able to get a prescription cream for his eczema, which began helping immediately.
Vonette Bright spoke to us tonight! She is BEAUTIFUL. What a wonderful testimony she gave of her late husband, Bill Bright, and the ministry the two of them began almost 50 years ago. God is so creative. Who could have conjured up what He has done through two small town farmer kids? Only GOD.
There's so much more to tell, but my eyes are closing.
Now for the latter half of my post...
So we passed by a billboard in Daytona Beach that read, "Adam and Eve, the Romance Shop". I was in and out of consciousness at the time, but the image stuck in my mind. I've thought about it for several days now. First of all, "romance" has nothing to do with toys and gadgets. God romances us minute by minute. I don't know about you, but I don't need gadgets with God. And to use Adam and Eve as a representation of romance in such a foul way reminds me just how distorted a view we have on sex. So.....romance and sex. Are they one in the same? They can be. But they certainly aren't always. You tell me...
THEIRS was the REAL romance--revelling in a perfect creation in flawless intimacy with each other and incredible delight with their Maker. No unfulfilled longings whatsoever, and STILL they gave in to the adventure of something different, which turned out far worse, . . . oh so much far worse than they could have imagined. Romance counterfeits have existed ever since, while our REAL longings go unfulfilled 'til we look back to our original design. And even then, we won't be fully satisfied until we see our Maker face to face.
