When we choose to have faith in this love, it has to affect everything in our lives. The hard part is holding on to our faith, especially when our lives are difficult.

Since you're moderating comments, I have this question. <BR/><BR/>On Google Reader, an image popped up w/your post that looked like a tattoo which caused me to gasp because tattoos are against Jewish law but then when I clicked through the image is a lovely one of hands.
