Welcome to The Giving blog, Benjamin. Also thank you for your prayers! I really appreciate that gift. I am just experiencing tiredness right now so have to pace myself as I heal. The body seems to have a way to signal you to slow down so the healing process can begin once again. I appreciate that you took the time to comment and give me a challenge as well. I believe that challenges as well as responses deserve to be answered. I firmly believe that if one believes they have the truth, they should be willing to be challenged by Scripture and by reason. I guess I just never understood why so many back away from a challenge. It is my view that if one is right a challenge will just confirm that in a stronger way. If one is wrong, then the challenge has sharpened and corrected. Either way it is a win-win situation where iron sharpens iron if one loves the truth more than their own rightfulness. Having said that I would like to digest your comments and answer back when I have more clarity of mind and body. My tiredness right now after surgery yesterday tells me I still need a little more time away to let things go and not to push myself too soon. I liked what you said about God. I do believe that God is our treasure. It reminds me of a man who bought a field just to get the treasure that resided within the field. The Lord Jesus is much more of a treasurer than any treasurer this world has. We need to hold onto Him as a pure treasure who is worth far more than we could ever imagine. Thank you again for your comments. I will get back to you as soon as I am capable.
