Trusting God’s Heart

We attended a church staff/spouse retreat last week in the mountains east of Salt Lake City.  It was a relaxing time.  I even convinced Jen to join me for a round of golf.    She shot a 49 on 9 holes.  Of course we played 18 and she only counted the nine she did acceptably well on.  Those were the only holes she put on the scorecard.  The rest of the holes she just recorded a smiley face.  (  

The main speaker at the conference was a Pastor from Georgia, Frank Cox.  His topic, “Trusting God’s Heart.”  The sub topic, “When you cannot trace God’s hand, trust His heart.”  That comes from a quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

“God is too good to be unkind,
He is too wise to be mistaken.
When you cannot trace His hand,
You can always trust His heart.

That is a terrific statement of faith and hope.    If you are interested in his story, he has written a book.  It is called, Trusting God’s Heart, Finding Peace in Times of Sorrow.    I recommend it.

I love this page--just nevercomment 'cause Pastor Rodger says I write like I talk--no paragraphs,no punctuation and it just goes on and on and on...
Now you should know who I am. What made me comment this time was Jen's golf score. Now that's my kind of golfer--I loved it-I could play golf with Jen!!!
I'm not really anonymous--just want to see if you figure out who I am from the comment.
