There were days in which it felt like this day would never come, and yet I've lived long enough now to know that emotions come and go. I'd better not depend on their being reliable anchors for my actions. But man oh man are they powerful. At the time you feel intense joy or pain, you can't imagine that what you are feeling are not the sum total of reality.
Just imagine how Jesus must have felt when God did turn his back on him. His emotions DID match reality in that instance.
Ruth has just come into my office, and so I'll continue this one later.
Emotions!!! yes they can drag us around, but they are wonderful at times.
