getting newer all the time...
I once read that every 11 years our bodies are made completely new, slowly transforming as old cells die & new ones take their place... may it also be with my soul: continually sloughing off all that is passing away, and being transformed into the newness of life...

Hi Ash...
You're smile and hearing your thoughts makes me miss you. I sure hope you're doing well with your job - I am indescribably envious of your lack of work. :o) It sounds like a real joy to be a part of. And we'll have to play some squash together sometime.
I feel the same "thoughtful"ness that you do, I think. My best friend's surrogate Father passed away just this last week too. Also a Christian, but still painful. I think I smile more than hurt to think of Steve, Jochen, Jeff McAleer, and other friends being gone. The mystery behind what has happened to them is brightened by the ways our Lord reveals Himself to us each day. I mean how do we actually KNOW what's happened to them? I guess I can't say for sure... but then what do I do with that? Don't I believe in Jesus and redemption? Of course I do...and I think it's when things like this happen that my faith in Christ gains a dimension it didn't have before. And how beautiful a thought to think that God saw Steve at that precise point in time, though the Lord exists outside of time, and called him into His presence. And even now, all of us who believe in Him are now seated with Him in the heavenly places (Ephesians 1 I think). These mysteries merit much more meditation than the few moments I give to them...but I am thankful for a God who graciously molds my thoughts to learn from His.
Lots of love, Ash. Talk to you soon
