It made a big impression on me. I think Mano goes on to say, just think of all the details the Gospel writers put in their stories not knowing exactly what the significance of them was. They weren't trying to construct a slick narrative, they were just putting down what witnesses saw and heard.roc scssrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732236331314339385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-90451298130127459372013-05-13T04:20:44.424-04:002013-05-13T04:20:44.424-04:00Interesting story, and not surprised about the ins...Interesting story, and not surprised about the instructor OR the composition of the classes... we are WAY behind in the tech world now...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-68252243551320691912013-05-12T21:50:39.051-04:002013-05-12T21:50:39.051-04:00Cnc: You are too kind, sir.

And in an attempt to edit it, I deleted it.<br />Regardless, my prayers go for your friend, and I must say. I love that turn of phrase of yours as does my wife:<br />"had we been blind, to what is unseen, we'd not be where we are,"<br />Wow.<br />It reminds me of the title of the Bill Whittle essay "Seeing the Unseen".<br />And as for gratefulness for what we have: I've seen in the movies, frequently, where the prayer over a meal has been, "O Lord, for that which we are about to receive, make us truly grateful."<br />I always expect the meal to disappear.<br />Ed Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-33769266709184927872013-05-12T15:44:40.884-04:002013-05-12T15:44:40.884-04:00Romanians...I've never met a religious one und...Romanians...I've never met a religious one under 40 and I've met a lot.

Is it unique to every individual, or is it the same for all. <br /><br />If it's the latter, transferring information through the eyes of another would yield no new information. <br /><br />If it's the former, the images might be so scrambled, even a person with good sight would be effectively blind until their brain processed the new information. Still, the preconceived images would conflict with the new images.

Someone ve..."see man as trees, walking." Someone very dear to me has a genetic condition that causes blindness in many cases. He is blind in one eye now, the other still decent, though not great, but we are aware it could go eventually as well with not much notice. He is only 30. He embraces every day of what he sees, the target, the tools, the musical notes. We are both very aware of the wonder of what we see, but also realize that had we been blind, to what is unseen we'd not be where we are, and that is a good place.Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.com
