Thank-you, Patrick. The familiar expression “With great freedom comes great responsibility” seems mostly used in a civic/patriotic sense, but it fits here too, I think. Your words are a timely reminder that my freedom in Christ requires me to recognize and shun my “shallow allegiances” to the world. In this regard, I’m a work in progress, but with God’s help I believe I am making progress.
I am a work in progress, as well. So often, I find myself in shallow, stagnant water when the Lord wants to shower me with “springs of living water.” Your words spur me on, Colonel. Patrick+
You are a true wordsmith, Patrick. I envy your command of language and appreciate your message. It really is thought provoking.
Regarding the miracle of birth; my son will be 45 in a few days. But for the grace of God, my wife Jyl, and son Justin, would not be here today. Even after 45 years, it is still difficult for me to talk about. I thank God daily that he saved them.

Steve, so very glad to hear from you, and thank you for your kind words.
I’m with you on the miracles bestowed on us by God. I marvel that Kay loves me period!
