I reread my post, and thought, "oh, I didn't mean to imply that Christ's paths are burdensome!" It's just that it's really that suffering makes love perfect, and somehow in that eye of the storm, when we get driven further down than before, we discover he is there with us in that pain in a deeper way. But you are aware of this situation, and I know you have had this experience; I'm merely preaching to the choir.
You have such a great attitude, DJ. Thanks for all your good posts; I really enjoy them.
