Hit the mark

The “Frustration foiled” Sentinel (December 2, 2013) really hit the mark. Thanks to Channing Walker for unraveling and reversing the frustration that technology can present. In spite of preventative software, my husband’s files were encrypted last week, and then he was sent a ransom note! But prayerful intelligence prevailed, and his information technology guy has resolved the issue. What cannot God do?

Seeing as God sees

I love the fact that “the more you know yourself as God knows you, the more misperceptions of you wither” (“The un-invisible man,” Sentinel, December 2, 2013). I appreciate the encouragement and the reminder that the practice of striving to see others as God sees them helps diminish misperceptions of them—and what blesses another blesses us, too. Can we be reminded too often that our primary purpose for existing is to demonstrate God’s flawless perception of all that’s real? Seeing as God sees is decisive for good in solving every problem. Thank you for another stimulating editorial. I look forward to every new one!

Putting God first

[“Where is God when we need Him?” Marilyn Wickstrom, November 25, 2013, Sentinel]

Thank you, Marilyn. This will help many. The humility and selflessness you exhibited by putting God first shine through the article. Injustice hasn’t a chance to destroy the fruition of a job well done.

Uplifting experience

Thank you, Pam, for the uplifting and unflinching experience of seeing through cancer as a lie about God, Spirit, and man, God’s infinite expression, in “Gratitude and the healing of cancer” (Pamela Herzer, Sentinel, November 25, 2013). As the Psalmist says, “I will not fear what flesh can do unto me” (Psalms 56:4 ) because we are not flesh to begin with.

Support in-law relationships

[“Becoming the in-laws,” Name withheld, November 4, 2013, Sentinel]

Even though I’m blessed with a loving relationship with my daughter-in-law, I’m grateful this article points out the need to prayerfully support all in-law relationships. When we hear jokes or stories of discord regarding in-laws or families, we can make such a difference in affirming quietly that we are all brothers and sisters in God’s family, and that He is the true Mother and Father governing all. Thank you for pointing out this opportunity.
