    Amen. In today’s online world it has become a real challenge to assert who is real and who is not.

    To encounter and welcome The Real is my ongoing wish, hope, dream, and prayer.

    Yes, the real me stretching my arms out, open palmed and the tears unwillingly salting my eyes. The old farmer with his dirty boots, standing on the worn puncheon floor. The worshiper that Jack saw at vespers. I am undone and weeping with joy that it has happened; again.

    What a great quote, Mitch. We might as well be sincere with God. And we surely want to talk to Him, not some version of a god we created in our minds. Great! God bless!
