try gold bond triple action. usually works for me.
perhaps it was somehow not according to hoyle to express those personal thoughts in the flow of this conversation. after repeating to her a statement she made that i thought was simply beautiful, and pondering this lady's incredible life of devotion i was moved to share my convicion, spoken tentatively, that Jesus really does love us, despite our mistakes and shortcomings, (a perspective, btw, that i do not believe fam.teaching reinforced..) It is in fact perhaps one of the most lifechanging insights i have experienced since i left the fam...from writers such as brennan manning, phillip yancey, dallas willard, anne lamott and others. if you read them you may have your impression of "religious types" altered somewhat.(what is a religious type? mother teresa? martin luther king? george harrison? mahatma gandhi?jrr tolkien? all of these were frank and open about their spiritual convictions in the marketplace of ideas. do they all bug you too?) i do not think having a genuine sense of the Lord's affection is either "religious" or some form of presumption that puts one in the category of would-be prophet. but you are welcome to you point of veiw.(but wouldn't you assuming that Jesus does not communicate his affection to his follwers also be a rather large presumption on your part? you certainly have every right to doubt my opinion on this regard. however, wouldn't my guess be at least as valuable as yours?)
i would close w/ my guess about how Jesus feels about you, but given you skin condition, that might be rash.
