If It Were Not So
Attended a funeral yesterday. While waiting for the service to begin, I was reading Luke from the Bible available in front of me. New revised standard, or something. I'm a KJV fan, but it was interesting. Footnotes saying, "some translations say..." or "some sources add (or leave out)..." - heh - the "infallible" scriptures... roughly speaking.
The minister invoked one of my favorite passages, from John.
Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
Amusingly simple and refreshingly reassuring if you trust ol' Jesus...
Good night, Gracies. Sleep well, if you sleep.
