I loved the opening responses to Mark's question, and wonderful how you both relate your own stories to it! Under a great deal of stress the past month, I remember once saying, "it doesn't have a ' ' thing to do with my faith!", and then I walked away from that, and it's like my Spirit says, "oh, yes, it has everything to do with your faith," meaning the faith, and I loved how Adam said this, "the faith that you've been brought into." There IS a difference for me in my emotional reactions to stress, and that 'faith' that is in Union with Him and is there all along. Does that make sense? Anyways, I enjoy such a fellowship with you guys, and it's such wonderful, insightful encouragement!

Adam, thank you. (heart)

Excellent insight, - that happiness is the absence of blame. Death is what blames everyone in the world, so no one in the world is ever truly happy.
