I hope that you have started the journey through the Gospels with me because
 it will be fun to share some of the insights we gleen from our reading
 together.  Please know if you have not started this journey yet, that it is OK.
  Just jump in with us where we are.  You can catch up later on your
own or just join the conversation.


 Today we're at DAY 3--no rhyme or reason, it's just where we are. I was
 looking at the three chapters we have to read today which is the third
 chapters of Matthew, Luke and John. I find an interesting occurrence.
 Questions!  People, ie. the crowds in Matthew and Luke, Nicadomeus in John and
 then Jesus' own disciples.  They were asking questions about life, about
 direction and about God.


 I don't know about you, but I am full of questions--always have been,
 always will be.   As a child, I was curious about how things were put
 together, and I would take apart things like radios and electrical appliances
 to see how they worked.   More times than not the stuff never worked again
 after I put  it  back in place...but at  least  I had some understanding of
 how it worked.


 What I want you and me to take away from these passages today is that it
 is OK to ask questions of me, of yourself and even of God.  Because as we
 see from the Gospels we read, Jesus answered.  And not just answered in any old way, but He did so in a mighty way.

It's great  to be on the  journey with you.
