Hey Makarios, I have received another from a dear Pastor in England. I thought I should pass it on as he was kind enough to think about my request and reply. 5. 'In scripture the "sea" is often used as a metaphor for chaos. The opening verses of Genesis comes to mind or Jesus stilling the storm in Mark 4:37-39 (love that detail found only in Mark that he was asleep on a cushion while the storm raged). Unlike the Phoenicians I don't think the Israelites of that time were great sailors and for them the sea represented the unknown, the unpredictable and capricious. In that light Revelation 21:1 is quite reassuring although personally I would desperately miss the sea! Having been brought up beside it moving to Manchester was quite a shock.' Us mere mortals though, as you well know yourself, can decide and know nothing without HIS Spirit. Look just take that back - I know you know that!! God Bless You dear friend, deb |

Greetings Deb, Wow! That was an excellent response! It's good to have friends in England who have a unique perspective on things.. :-) I've always liked the English! But I haven't always enjoyed drinking coffee, even though I think it is a good Username.. Many of my women friends and fellow sisters in Christ like coffee, though! :-) Thank you for another excellent response! Your Brother in Christ, Makarios |

A pleasure to serve you. I am so glad someone out there was able to reach out to you. Coffee is definitely a curse for me but I guess using it as a name here really means little to me. I make no real connection to it; giving it no real value. It is simply 6 letters of usage. I am glad it piles me into you friends list association! I would say that they also have great taste but that would be encouraging a vice so I wont go with that. It's funny, most I know love tea! It sounds like that might be you too. Have a great day my friend in Christ, luv deb |
