Thank you, both, dear Loz and Zoe (and peace to you, both!). I know you already know this, but sometimes it's helpful to take a step back and, say, "chew" on the "manna" we've already received... while waiting for him to "reveal" the application to us, if any, of some new "food"? Because there may not necessarily be any personal application involved but only a general "Look out for" [say, the leaven of the Pharisees]? As he often told his disciples.

You know, maybe it's kind of like music, sometimes: one can try SO hard to hear a nuanced note but being unable to pick it out from the plethora of other notes being played, misses it. But only at first. After listening to the song/melody a few times, there comes an "AHA! moment" when the note is clearly heard (and one wonders, "Of course! But, why didn't I get/hear that to begin with??!" - LOLOL!).

I dunno - I (used to) sing. And so maybe it's that I can hear a few more "notes"... or hear one a tad quicker... than some, is all? I mean, seems like that worked for David - LOLOLOLOL!

Peace to you, both, and to you all!

YSSFS of Christ,

Shel

Dear Shelby - you are so right!! Strange, I had a thought like that, that came to me this morning. I felt like I was complicating things for myself too much and I just said to myself to not sweat it and be happy with the simple stuff for now.

Thanks so much for your help, I really do appreciate it a LOT!
