(This is a scribble drawing I did today.) I went and did something dumb today. I practically volunteered a friend to do some art without asking him. He's a really good guy, I'll call him 'Mike'. He's really busy, and I have no business dropping his name so casually. *Sigh* I've done the same to Larry sometimes. I just get so excited about the idea of getting all my Christian friends together on projects, but though that was the motive, the result was that I put people on the spot and made them uncomfortable. I'm really sorry... Spiritually I've been on a high. Nights are lonely, frightening affairs full of dread of the morrow for me. But these last several nights, God has felt very close to me. He is filling me with His love and mercy, so much that I feel filled up even though I am a broken vessel, full of cracks, holes, and jagged edges. It's my hope that the Holy Spirit will fill me so much that Love overflows from me into other people and situations. The Holy Spirit, I've never really known Him. I've always been afraid I'd blasphemed His name, and would run from hearing Him mentioned. But now I'm beginning to understand that He is so precious! He comes to us, into our lives, to be our comforter, our very real reminder of Jesus and the Father! Today. Here. Even tonight... The Father is so Holy and Infinite, that I cannot grasp Him fully. So sometimes I lose sight of Him. Like mountains, forests, cities, rise up and block the sky. The sky is always there, and we are comforted when we remember, but when faith and the heart grow faint, the sky seems impossibly far away. The Lord Jesus is in Heaven, but I can begin to understand His human side, though He is perfect and sinless in a way alien to my mind. But I am comforted knowing He walked this earth, and will come again. The Holy Spirit is God now. In me. Finally I begin to understand just a little how precious He is! It is as the Holy Spirit that God is closest to my heart after all! God bless you all! Gerry Lee
