Or perhaps it is that your sermons can reach across the vast expanse and really communicate to anyone in any phase of life. In either case, thank you! <br /><br />~ Kim HerringKim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14638439720134084413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461881165292804095.post-9224871892252110982010-05-27T20:38:20.280-06:002010-05-27T20:38:20.280-06:00Nathan,

When you were talking about choices it made me think of the quote, "I turned my head and ten years later it was my life". Recently I was thinking to myself that I have manifested all of my current and past joys, sorrows, triumphs and tragedies and your sermon reiterated that for me. Thank you for sharing this sermon for people other than you church members to experience.<br />-AliciaAlicia Kastnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12834760987193855532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461881165292804095.post-50405755247779822772008-12-31T18:40:11.759-07:002008-12-31T18:40:11.759-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.vintagecarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11891223455544012376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461881165292804095.post-13979138983139287062008-09-01T12:49:00.000-06:002008-09-01T12:49:00.000-06:00In reading your words I was reminded of the biblic...In reading your words I was reminded of the biblical Book of James - "faith without works is dead" - and I kept expecting you to reference it - but you didn't... kind of surprising. <BR/><BR/>The concept of we (humans) as part of a big "fabric" is a common analogy - even Piers Anthony used it in one of his Xanth books, LOL! I wonder what confounded you about the woman's desire to finish the "big project" of her life? This is a fairly common issue, especially at the end of one's life - when a person is trying to evaluate their impact on the world and the people they are leaving behind. This quilt would be something that would be cherished by this woman's family, and remind them of her. It's not just a quilt, it's part of her. And through it, she lives on - every time someone sees that quilt thrown over the back of the couch, or wraps themselves in it's warmth - she will be remembered. Not too hard to imagine why she'd want to pass along something so meaningful, that she'd put so much of herself into - it's part of her legacy. <BR/><BR/>In a spiritual sense, we all seek to discover what our "legacy' will be. We want to pass along a sense of faith to our children. We want to touch friends and others in the community in a meaningful way. That's the gift of faith at work - you don't sit static - you jump up and DO something! Even if it's only to quietly hold a hand, and just be there. Maybe that's the hardest thing of all to do.Luminaria2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/05321732909857327110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461881165292804095.post-34575338617809415382008-01-28T12:27:46.991-07:002008-01-28T12:27:46.991-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09772063270942316250noreply@blogger.com
