[Faith-talk] From a book I'm reading

[Debby Phillips]

Oh Poppa Bear, that is so awesome! I have never wanted to read 
Deen Koontz because I thought his stuff was creepy.  That is not 
creepy.  That is wonderful.  It touches something in my heart, 
and brings back for me, the memory of the first time I received 
Communion in the Catholic Church.  As soon as the Eucharist 
touched my lips, my heart began to be flooded with a sweet, but 
strong Presence.  I stood there, so overwhelmed by the love I 
felt, and the love just kept flowing over me.  I felt that I 
would drown, or fall down on my face.  This is what it is to be 
totally loved.  I will probably never experience that totality of 
love again until Heaven.  And yet God lets me have faint glimmers 
at times.  Usually I'm so weighed down by everything that is 
happening in the world.  Well, enough from me.  Thanks for 
sharing that little portion of the book.    Blessings,    Debby
