Dear Friends,
I remember my fist day in my Chinese philosophy class at Furman University inGreenville S.C. The professor, a professing atheist, pointed to a chair in the room and asked us if it was real. We then debated for 30 minutes on our perception of reality. Entire movies have been created based on this notion of reality verses false perception (remember the Matrix movies?) Anyway, it eventually comes down to one word: Faith! Good ol’ doubting Thomas had to see, hear and touch the Savior to believe. Blessed indeed are those who have not seen and yet believe! What do you believe and why? Two good questions to ponder until we see each other again. Really! Hugs and Love, Scott

I Am Nearer than you think, richly present in all your moments. You are connected to Me by Love-bonds that nothing can sever. However, you may sometimes feel alone, because your union with Me is invisible. Ask Me to open your eyes, so that you can find Me everywhere. The more aware of My Presence, the safer you feel. This is not some sort of escape from reality; it is tuning in to ultimate reality. I am far more Real than the world can see, hear, and touch. Faith is the confirmation of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.

Acts 17:27-28 27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Hebrews 11:1 (AMP) 1NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
