I concur. (Except that I do affirm that a believer CAN know he is on the way to heaven, in the grip of the Holy Spirit. But the joy of a heart filled with God is not limited to heaven. It can substantially, if not perfectly, fill one’s heart and one’s highest hopes right here on earth.)

Absolutely! That's the coolest thing about the books I've been reading: the eye witness accounts of what that was like. I didn't understand what that meant, and didn't really believe it beyond saying the words I heard others saying about it.

Now, the "faith" part is much easier, once I got a feel for how things work and what things look like when they do. I'm in awe, quite frankly. And, I don't have the fear now that I started the obama years with.
