Kurt,
Truly, do you ever regret never getting into drugs? I'm pretty hard-pressed to think of anybody who might think that, except for Mark Tuinei, and look where that got him! Actually I bet he had dabbled before in stuff.
I hadn't known you were really good/great at math back in the day, likely better than I, and that was my best subject! But I did love the history stuff.................otherwise I really did HATE school as much as probably a lot of people who did a lot more poorly than I did there.
Also for somebody who's supposed to be one of the smarter ones, really, I am AMAZED at the number and degree of the STUPID things I've said & done in my life. To say that would be what you would expect from somebody who was afflicted with the Down's syndrome, would be an insult to all of them, though less to other people of average native intelligence, but an insult nonetheless. Basically I've done more stupid things that just about anybody I know of! Really to my shame, and at the judgment seat you will be even more perplexed at what you hear about me. My skeleton closet is FAR LARGER than ANY closet found in a master bedroom of a newly built McMansion in my old 50's neighborhood near Dealey Elementary on Royal Lane!! Anyway, here's an important verse that this reminds me of.............well, here's a better one I was just reading, one of my very favorite, and unrelated to the verse I was looking for:
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Cor 2:9) - I don't know which version but here's the link:
https://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/
I was LOVING the 1st chapter & then the 2nd - as you know, you can't really describe what it does to a born again person internally to read these AGAPE words. OH MY!!!!!! For those that don't know, the agape love is the divine unconditional love that is so much higher than our conditional human version. God loved Saddam up through the hanging!!! He wasn't pleased with his behavior obviously but He still loved him!!!! Too bad the English is not as rich as the Greek that the New Testament was written in - there are a few dffierent Greek words for love with different shades of meaning found therein, as we know, Kurt.
Have a TREMENDOUS remainder of your Father's Day in our Lord & Savior!!!
Chief Regenerated & Redeemed (due to You Know Who)
