Word Woman, I used to think I would like to have been a "deep" person having come from a family of "intellectuals" of 6 siblings that made straight "A's" in school and all graduated with honors -- except ME. I was labled the flower of the family -- the blooming idiot. But the more I learned the heavier all responsibilities became. Also, I was the only one of the 7 that became a true Christian. The Bible warns against being the more discerning Spiritually, because it then becomes a heavy responsibility (consider the burden of responsibility on our dear Lord as He dealt with this world). The more simple we keep things (no matter how much we know!), the better off we are, and less likely to stumble at the Word; and really, probably influence others more that way too.

Well, Mary, if being simple in faith will get you into Heaven, then God's preparing a parade for me.

Thank you for your words of encouragement.
