Particularly the importance of coming to see ourselves more clearly, and of coming to see God more clearly.<BR/><BR/>But if you'll pardon one more thought...perhaps we're also called to view our imperfections as God does, not with the kind of self-condemnation that so pervades Western society, but with compassion, loving-kindness, grace.<BR/><BR/>Peace to you.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275381128126684009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-32422427670901610102008-08-06T21:10:00.000-05:002008-08-06T21:10:00.000-05:00Or both... oh Diane, you are good.Or both... oh Diane, you are good.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-47896186379758335912008-08-06T20:09:00.000-05:002008-08-06T20:09:00.000-05:00amen sister. been preachin' this to meself for day...amen sister. been preachin' this to meself for days...Hot Cup Lutheranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125425492709186198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-49606180958294667662008-08-06T19:19:00.000-05:002008-08-06T19:19:00.000-05:00Thanks, Diane.

Here is a thought I'm posting at RevGalPrayerPals tomorrow:<BR/><BR/>“The modern Orthodox theologian, Vladimir Lossky, spoke of a ‘margin of silence’ belonging to the words of Scripture, ‘which cannot be picked up by the ears of those outside.’ Only those who can discern this margin of silence are able to enter into the real meaning of the Scriptures. It is only in a spirit of prayer that we can become attuned to this silence.”<BR/><BR/>Louth, Andrew. Denys the Areopagite.
