[Faith-talk] The proper introduction to blindness.

[Poppa Bear]

It does make me sad to here so many stories about people falling out with 
their local Church. I so hope that everyone on here can find fellowship in 
or out side of their local Church and definatly keep hope alive. I have been 
excited to go to Church where ever I have lived, loved the word and the 
oppertunity to participate where my gifts aloud me to do so and it has been 
a big part of my Christian growth, but by and large, my biggest growth in 
the Lord still comes in the day to day interactions with the people around 
me, the issues of daily life and how I respond to them, my daily devotions, 
my attitude to the world around me. I imagine I could not go to Church for a 
year and still continue to grow, and though I would definatly feel the loss, 
I couldn't go a week without the Bible, serving those around me and working 
out my salvation in the midst of all the little and large blessings, and 
both the big and little things that attempt to take my focus off of Jesus.
