Greetings to a real Paul !

My eyes have been enlightened and my mind has been cleared. In the past few days I have begun to realize that Paul actually is real. Wow! It really changes the way that I read his comments. They are no longer a meaningless figment of someone's imagination. Now they are filled with the vitallity of a human being. They actually have meaning to me and I can sense a real living caring person behind each comment.

"Why the big change"? you may ask. "You previously were skeptical of everyone that you didn't personaly know, now you completely trust the logical reasoning of a person that you have never met" My answer? I know someone who has met Paul in person. Karissa told me persoanally of her experience meeting with Paul and that has made all the difference.

There are folks that we talk with everyday who may not have a strong faith that Jesus' words are true or that He even exists. Hitting even closer at home, there are people who don't believe that God's promise of victory over sin and joy in knowing Him is real. However, we have firsthand experience with Jesus and His promises. We have met him for ourselves and just a word from us to someone who is doubting can completely change the way that someone reads God's "blog comments to the world". So Paul, brother of Barry, thank you for your insightful comments and for reminding me that the joy that I have experienced by knowing Jesus may be a savor of life unto life to the guy sitting across from me at lunch tomorrow.
