Today my husband and I were able to spend the early morning sipping coffee and exploring the word of God and what it is doing in our hearts. We were reading John 15...remain on the vine and bear fruit. I asked Jim what he thought God meant by "fruit". He said "when the heart blossoms like a flower"...and he continued to talk about how pruning is needed to allow for fresh heart growth...and cleansing. From there we talked about the quest for "simplicity" in a very complex world. It's like using 3 gulf clubs and perform better on the golf course then carrying a big fancy cart with 14 clubs. From there we talked about "loosening our grip on life". "Do you know"...my husband continued..."if you loosen the grip on your golf club, you can hit the ball further and more accurate...Life is like that".
