What a wonderful topic for a discussion Steven! If I were given a one-way ticket to somewhere in some place in time I would go to Israel at the time of Jesus when he met the disciples on the Sea of Galilee. Sheila and I visited Israel in 1999 and here is a picture of that wonderful visit. We want to go back. We will!

You encoutueer a complaint about you or something else or other description of pain, difficulty, or sadness – a problem of some type.

The wrong thing to start with – Tendency to offer a

Explanation of or excuse for the source of pain

Instead, seek God’s power, authority, love, and wisdom and offer understanding and comfort.
