Since last Tuesday morning, there’s a word that I cannot seem to get away from right now (not that I really want to as it is a beautiful word with a beautiful meaning).
How much more expansive can God's Parenthood be than Jesus's instruction to "Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."? However, we know with our intellect that this statement isn't true. Right? I've come to know that prayer from an expanded faith and an expanded love is answered but not always in a way that is hoped for. I may ask for fish and get chicken. I may ask for asparagus and get green beans. I may ask for Gelato and get yogurt. In any case, my Holy Parent will answer my prayer by expanding my faith in a way that is healthy and bigger than me. My faith will be stretched. Praise God.
Thanks for your expansive and lovely view of the world! Just want to also point out that "Ms. Richardson," is actually Dr. Richard, and teaches history at Boston University.

Hi,
Thanks for your expansive and lovely view of the world! Just want to also point out that "Ms. Richardson," is actually Dr. Richard, and teaches history at Boston University.
