"What folly to fear to be too entirely God's! It is to fear to be too happy. It is to fear to love God's will in all things. It is to fear to have too much courage in the crosses which are inevitable, too much comfort in God's love, and too much detachment from the passions which make us miserable.
So let us scorn earthly things, to be wholly God's. There would be only this difference, that instead of being devoured by our pride, by our overbearing passions, and by the malicious criticism of the world, we shall act instead with liberty, courage and hope in God. Confidence will animate us.
If we have a hard time believing this, experience will convince us. "Come, see and taste," said Daivd, "how sweet is the Lord." - Francois Fenelon ~1700

Hi Pastor Barb. It was nice to see you yesterday. Love and God's blessings, Kim Chaffin
Hi Pastor Barb. I just wanted to let you know I got an e-mail from the man named Sam I met at Jiffy Lube the other day. He said he would see us at church. God is so wonderful and I am blessed that he used me to witness to someone. I'll be sure to introduce them to you.
