The Word became Flesh

I had a dream the other night of a high school friend of Erica's and her Mom. In my dream we went to their house in a blizzard and as soon as we arrived the snow stopped and melted and we spent some time visiting with them. (It was really nice to visit them in my dream). When I was waking up I "heard" the phrase " and the Word became flesh". I've heard it said before that we are the "Book" that people "read" to see the reallity of God. But the Word becoming flesh I've always attributed only to Jesus. I know HE is the Word but might we be little phrases that help people see what He is like??

Along with these thoughts, I was listening to a CD and the person speaking talked about the Old Testament Deuteronomy (rules and laws0 as the "CULTURE of HEAVEN". This intreged me because I know how culture affects every part of our life process. Most misunderstandings are culturally based. I don't know if that is the culture of heaven but it is interesting to think of heaven as HAVING a culture. If heaven has a culture what would it be like?? (Ponder ponder)

This is for the oldies in our blogging group. I took this off an email from a cousin who started by saying "My kids asked me what kind of fast foods did you have when you were young. I replied all foods were SLOW when I was a kid. Grandma cooked and we all sat down and ate together at the table and had to be excused to leave the table. The kids laughed and said' seriously dad'. I was serious". Sooo do you remember any of the following things and what is your memory of them??

Today is a NEW DAY

Mercies are new every morning. NEW MERCIES!! Wow!! EVERY SINGLE day. To me this is amazing! Once, twice and three times you're out in this game here on earth. In our economy, some times there isn't even a second chance, but HIS mercies are new EVERY single day. Yesterday I "heard" (In my inner self), heaven singing over us HIS desire for us. How can this be? This is mind boggling that HE misses us, that HE wants our friendship, that HIS desire is for us. I know we can spout the verses but the REALITY of God HIMSELF desiring our puny little selves. WOW!!!

Back in the snow

Ok, ok Rebecca and all that thought I'd been dumped into the Burntwood River. I am alive and well and living in the snowy white north. We work up this morning to a couple inches of snow and the temperature in the minus side of the thermometer. Art used q grain shovel to get the hardened mess off my car this morning.
We enjoyed Brooke and Conlan and Auntie Cheryl and Daddy Dwight coming to visit over the long weekend. I didn't have a lot of energy but the kids caught and ate some fish so I guess they were ok.
So I will remember the day after Lois' Birthday, we are sitting in a snow storm. I'm going for coffee now. Bye
