[Faith-talk] What's on your mind.

>From the book The Ancient Jewish Wedding by Jamie Lash (on bookshare)
This is a paraphrase of something I thought was so beautiful made me feel so 
loved.
In the ancient Jewish world the father of the groom would send his most 
trusted servant to find a bride.  Christ does that for us sending the sHoly 
Spirit to search and to pick someone for Himself to woo them to Him.  In the 
ancient Jewish world the groom would, in effect, pay a price for his bride. 
He would purchase her but it wasn't like buying a slave.  It was that the 
bride was worth so much to him he was willing to pay a price.  Christ paid 
the highest price possible for His church because He loves His bride and is 
wooing us to Him.

Hey folks, I was reading a book this morning and thinking about the power of
words and how for blind people, words often can supplement the faculty of
vision we do not have in a very significant way. I have found that for me,
words often mean more to me than to my sighted family and friends. Well, to
jump from that thought to the next, I wanted to see if people wanted to post
just one paragraph from a writing that has impacted them in a way to be a
significant principle that helps them to embrace or cope with their
blindness or has helped them to grow Spiritually. I thought this could be a
way to help us see some of the common ground that some of us stand on rather
than our differences. I think that a paragraph is a nice footprint so that
we don't start posting complete essays or doctrinal statements and turn this
into a runaway train. Perhaps post the name of the book incase others would
like to read it further. Also, this doesn't have to be the end all of
paragraphs, it may be something that is humorous, a dialog between
characters or a line from a poem, no pressure at all. Well, I'm going to
knock out the dishes and feed my mangy muts , look forward to reading some
of your thoughts when I get back.
