Tuesday’s Synopsis:

Tuesday’s new thing: Synopsis

+ We talked into the wee hours of the morning about: Life and love and happiness and then the Holy Ghost. Squirrels. Chipmunks. The Gospel of John. Multiplication and how God is really good at it. Evolution and how we don’t like it. At all. Family and how we need to pray. Ice cream. Donut runs. The over or underrated value of sleep.

+ I woke up at 8:47 and arrived at work at 9:05. Durn.

+ I have hiccups today. I need someone to scare me. (If you ever get a chance to meet my mum, ask her about the time dad had hiccups and she ‘cured’ him.)

+ A nice British man at Subway made my morning. He’s one of those people that loves life, and loves people, and isn’t ever intimidated… but always invites into his world, and walks into other people’s lives through whatever open door he happens to see. He asked for “a zip of mayonnaise, lots of salt & pepper and I’m built!”

“If you have My love, you have everything…"

She was starting out quiet and thoughtful, waiting to be caught up in a sweeping current of the meeting. Gentle eddies swirled now and then… no river. They were talking love… she had been anticipating war. Now and again someone would speak out… some quiet, some stirring, some regurgitating even. Small robins. But, not, really. Actually they’re mothers… why a mother will act a small’un I don’t know. Comfort, maybe. “Be still and know.” This began a period of waiting, the slow moving current taking a small shift out of anticipation’s path.

“God?” She began, timidly, afraid of her fear, “Do I have what it takes?”

Pause. Her feet were tingling, pressed into the hardwood floor of this House of Giants.

“If you have My love, you have everything…” he whispered.
...everything…
.........EVERYTHING......

(everything)

And now to know: what is the width, and length, and height and depth of this love!
That the access to everything would be as encompassing and long reaching and fanciful and rooted as the practicing and experiencing of this love!

For love is the key to all things in the kingdom. All authority, all spiritual gifts, all strengths, all successes, all dreams, all victories, all relationships.

And love... love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres. Love never fails. (1Corinthians.13.4-8)
