Tuesday November 25 th. 2008 What keeps us from god

Went to go see Mark for a few min. yesterday.  I told him how his nice Sunnie had gotten baptized.  I ask Mark if he remembered getting baptized with Mom and I in Gallop New Mexico years ago.  Mark said" I don't remember but Mom would" I told him I would ask Mom.  Mark then told me that him and Hank had gotten baptized in Mt. Home Idaho.  Mark was right about getting baptized with Hank but he had the wrong town and state.  They were baptized in Phoenix Arizona, about twenty seven years ago. 

 Mark had just told Uncle John that he would like to get re baptized again.  I know from everything that Mark has been saying that he wants to re diticate his life to God.  I am so happy to here this.  Even though God never leaves us, we so often lose sight of him.  I am so glad that we have a forgiving God a God that does not say you forgot me, so I want nothing to do with you anymore.  God just keeps waiting are return!  I know this because your word say it in so many places.  From Adam that you clothed to Samson that you returned his strengh to David 

that had sin against you ,you still loved them all.  From Peter that denied you three times you trusted in leadership of the church.  You O God  has shown yourself to us in so many different ways why are we so blind so many times!  Why can we not see you love us and only want a relationship with us! When will I learn  to trust in you!
