Andrew Gosden (now 18) has been missing from his Doncaster home since 14 September 2007. The search continues.
I have always tried to see it as just that, a chance to give my mind a new aspect of faith to dwell upon, something that challenges me, usually it turns out to be the fact of my lack of being a good christian, my lack of love for the Father but I know that He understands and never stops loving me. But I like to think about the issues that face us currently, problems of division in the synod over some hot topics and the such like… can I understand how the people feel and think on both sides? They are all loved by God. Selah.
I had plans for this Lent; but it has started badly for me. My ongoing health issues took a nose-dive during the night Monday, and into the early hours of Tuesday morning — just as I felt things were really beginning to pick up again. Needless to say, my plans have had to change.
I think your last statement is an important one to hang onto Steve, “They are all loved by God”.
I do rather like your plan to think and pray about the issues currently causing division. Always in the light of that last statement.
Thanks Steve.
