I love the beautiful profile pic you chose. I just read a commentary on Luke 7: 36-50 in Michael Card's "Luke: Gospel of Amazement". It recounts her as a broken sinner who recognizes Jesus as the only one who sees her as she is and loves her any way. She does not simply feel love for Him for His forgiveness of her, she demonstrates it through her extravagant actions. I am blessed by your choice of avatars and challenged to live a life of extravagant love to Jesus and those He loves.

Thank you.

thank you for accepting my friendship invite, Adelphe...I am blessed..

have a terrific day!

Baggie, for some reason your (6, LOL) comments won't post to my guestbook--something with some funky characters, I think, but here it is characters removed:

Baggie says: "Saint Paul's Girl the name, is a surreptitious reference to any of the feminine delights of the Hamburg-Germany district known as Sanct Pauli, German for same, where supposedly the lights of night are red. It's a place for the adventurous and the marginalized, where, if they dare, they can party and hang out with the likes of Bacchus, Dionysus, Eros, and Morpheus. Or they can simply eat pretzels and drink."

Adelphe says: "Or they can simply eat pretzels and drink", LOL! Ubi spiritus est cantus est. Quid novi, Abambagibus? Vah! Denuone latine loquebar? Oops! Missis ambagibus, Prost! "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." (John 10)
and "The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.” (Matt 19) And I didn't know any of that, so thank you! Actually, I at one time was the bar maid in a cafe thread on Science & Religion, serving up the patrons St. Pauli Girl in St. Pauli (and St. Paul) Girl style thus the ref.

I hoist a mug in celebration of our shared inspiration by Saint Paul! So, ab ambagibus, how 'bout you missis ambagibus dicere (did I get that right?) and tell me about your Jungian introversion? Mmmm...so far I'm thinking ISTP? Or INTP? I give you mine: INTJ/borderline INTP--the Mastermind or the Architect ;-). Do you find that odd for a person of great faith?
