I totally understand what you're talking about. It's such a restful place to be. <br /><br />I once heard Billy Graham's daughter, Gigi Graham Tchividjian, speak about her book "A Quiet Knowing". It's kind of like what you are saying.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024613458911435527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-60474733898219371342009-09-04T09:21:38.906-04:002009-09-04T09:21:38.906-04:00Barb,

We spend more time, on forming programs then relationships. Including relationship with the Father. I too have been transformed by grace, I am still, and hope to always be. It really is very different then what I believed when I was actively "in Church." I think I know what you mean by slippery slope, at times I wonder about this myself, but then I realize how much peace and wholeness I feel in my life now. I remember that he who is in me is greater then he who is in the world. I remember that God is more than able to show me anything I need to see. It's so great to share thoughts with others who seem to be on a similar journey. Thanks for sharing :)Davedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182993023405516646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-7040741801876268072009-09-03T12:25:14.679-04:002009-09-03T12:25:14.679-04:00Amen
