Sitting Under the Kudzu Vine

So the LORD God appointed a plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head.

The Dreaded God: Encounter With the Holy

When we think about God, we need to see and understand that He is like no other.  He is totally separate from all of creation.  God is transcendent above all the universe.  His being is frightening and causes fear in His presence because of our finite nature and because of our sin. And yet, we crave to know God’s holiness.

LOSS OF MEMORY

This in March, we went home for a visit. We went to our home church (March 17) which is the one year anniversary of my mother’s passing. I wanted to go to try to shake my memory. I was sick when my mother died, and I can’t remember anything. I can’t remember the wake, the funeral, the burial, or the meal that day at church. I vaguely remember two faces. I remember going to the doctor. My illness was caused by my diabetic medication, and I cannot remember.
