Our experiences may be different, but we are all the same at the core...perhaps it is our soul, the dna or the imprint of our Creator...hmmm. I joined a group of people who...well to put it simply... we visit and share communion, mutual presence and the Word with a group of ladies lets just say "in unfortunate cirmcumstance." The suprising thing to me is that when I look at their faces they all look so familiar to me, each one...I know I know her..I know I must have met her or seen her before, etc. ...and I realize it is the look in their eyes and the expressions on their faces I recognize because I have indeed seen them all before in my very own mirror, in my own eyes and on my own face.Our experiences may be different, but we are all the same at the core...perhaps it is our soul, the dna or the imprint of our Creator...hmmm.

True Love is Forever - somepeople remain in your hearts forever
I remember the first time I read anything Jim Palmer wrote. It has to be 4 years ago maybe 5 and was an article on ExploreFaith.com abotu Divine Nobodies and it was the first time I read any Protestant-type write about Jesus and Love in a sort-of similar way to my own Catholic pastor who was the first Anybody of any background I ever heard talk about Jesus and Love in the way that he did/does...i just happend to hear him on the radio. But that is another Love story.
Im dedicating this post to Jim Palmer. I still see him on Facebook. I still dont understand why he doesnt post those posts here too though. But you dont have to understand everything about a person or God or anything to Love it/them/him/her, and I am learning that is not my concern...I cant see his big picture any more than I can see my own.
I started posting on Jim's Myspace several years ago, and then a wonderful thing happend. He asked me to post on his Turnloveinsideout website blog. That was the first time anybody had ever asked me to express my thoughts on Love. I have said this before and i will keep saying it forever... I am eternally grateful for that. He asked me to do something, and that allowed expression of things I may have kept inside. For whatever that is worth to anybody else, probably nothing, but to me it has had immeasureable value, and I continue to learn and grow from the experience of sharing in this way.
I believe if it is our destiny, aka if God wants us to do something, he will let us know and we will do it..in His time. I also believe he uses other people most of the time to act on his behalf - since we - all of us - are made in His image. People who ask us, seek us out, and knock on our door - we will open up eventually. I am grateful to Jim Palmer for having the courage to ask me when he did and for all the various ways it has deepend and opened my faith.
