Grace with her adoring Grandfather
I've had more than 50 years to practice my articulation but, although I don't squeal much any more, sometimes I feel I'm not very far ahead of Grace in getting my point across!
This comment of Schaeffer's points out exactly what was needed in tonight's long discussion around the table - definition:
As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word god until it is defined. No word has been used to teach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word god. Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that relates itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the One who is there. This is an entirely different concept.

Well, Aunt Laurie, though you may not realise it, I've been reading your blog for a long time. Only now I've finally gotten up the courage to leave a comment.
Grace is sooooooo sweet! I can image how much fun Uncle John must have with her.
Grace is sweet indeed and Uncle John certainly does enjoy his little granddaughter.
I do hope you will go on having courage - its always good to hear from you! (And, of course, its very gratifying to find you a fan of my blog. :-)
