I've been listening to the podcasts and was surprised to find though you read them faithfully as written, I hear differently when read to. I hear more. (I actually heard today a few times since in traffic your podcasts are wonderful travel companions.) It was like having my life described as I listened today. And today was less formidable knowing that though trapped, it is the sea monster that God has placed me in to carry me to the place He wants me to be. And it is all good then.TeresaAngelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251765018168417707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27139233.post-90308641122476518562014-08-02T16:13:23.690-07:002014-08-02T16:13:23.690-07:00Dear Ginny,

I am comforted by St. Paul's words (2 Cor. 812): our gift is acceptable to God according to what we have, not according to what we don't have (so long as our heart is willing). We can only offer God our life, what it is, not what it isn't.<br />Fr. MichaelFr.

It is hard to live within the tension sometimes.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00224678817173070706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27139233.post-44915048429345784802014-07-30T21:13:15.731-07:002014-07-30T21:13:15.731-07:00Thanks for this post, Fr MichaelThanks for this post, Fr MichaelJessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27139233.post-26025650979224769522014-07-30T16:42:12.751-07:002014-07-30T16:42:12.751-07:00Thank you for this posting, Fr.
