This song came to mind while reading your comment:

In my heart there is a stone
A little mountain of my own
And lately I’m beginning to believe
It’s too high for me

It trips me up when I am walking
When I’m running to Your arms
I can’t see You; it’s my only view

I can’t hide it easily
Sometimes it’s all there is to see
This is no Mountain of Transfiguration
It’s the stone of nothing’s changing

But my climbing shoes have worn so smooth
I’m losing all my traction
And besides, it’s just too cold up here

I stumble over mountains
One day soon I’ll take them in my stride
For the one who trusts You
Will not be put to shame

And it always breaks me
When I fall I always land too hard
But the one who trusts You
Will not be put to shame

I can feel it pushing through
From the bottom of my shoe
A stumbling stone that just won’t let me be
All I can for You

With the smallest faith
I can replace this mountain with the sky
Will Your patience ever pass me by?

- Tree 63

Reread Ephesians among others.

Yep. Matthew 3:13-17 and Mark 1:9-11 also give a pretty good example of the three being present.

Did you know that in Spanish the words justice and righteousness are the same? That’s free of charge

I’m glad you wrote that. I needed a good laugh. I’m trying to make sense right now of how Isaiah used the word ‘justice’ in his sermons. The laugh does me well at this point.

There is an unwritten rule (so I have read) that states once a conversation reaches 39 comments it will inevitably veer off course. When that same coversation reaches 450 comments, someone will inevitably be compared to Hitler.
