Good use of the words for BCof.

It was intended to help farmers with their farms but today with all the modern technology, it's not necessary.

I don't have as many dog stories but I do tons of cat stories. I've been blessed with some interesting cats who do make sure I know when they need or want something. Yeats was notorious for when I was on the computer, and he wanted attention he would lay right across the keyboard. I could move him but he would come right back. Once I snuggled with him then he would lie down beside me. Macavity when he wants to eat, taps your leg repeatedly. And when I ask what do you want he goes to his food dish. If I don't get up immediately, he will come back and tap my leg repeatedly.

I agree animals are far more intelligent than we realize.

I tend to overthink and second-guess. I try to let go. Moving on from past mistakes (whether or not they were truly mistakes) is key for me to meet new challenges and make new mistakes. *sigh*

I've lived with people who had needs. Sometimes it worked out; sometimes life intervened.

My favorite OT book is Ruth. I truly believe that kindness matters.

Living in God's presence

Do we as Christians live in God's presence? Why or why not?

In one sense, God's presence is everywhere, so yes. In another sense, Christ died to repair our relationship with God the Father. So, if we have a relationship with God, then aren't we again always in his presence? I hope you are following my thought process.

One day I went on an errand with my elderly neighbor shortly before she stopped driving. Her driving was starting to get kind of bad and she drove onto the highway. We will just say that got my heart racing a bit. I began to pray and I realized that if I were to die that day, it would be like going from a lesser level of glory to a higher one. However, either God was there. I can't physically see him now but I can feel his presence. To live or die, I was consistently in his presence which brought comfort to my heart.
