It made me think of my grandmother, though stricken with alzheimer's could still pray the Lord's Prayer with me, recite the Creed and confess her sins. May we all pray, "Come, Lord Jesus. Come quickly. Come now."revmlkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000070707671391383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16615632.post-82589467524629443712010-11-09T17:35:18.257-06:002010-11-09T17:35:18.257-06:00I think we often do not believe in prayer, so we d...I think we often do not believe in prayer, so we don't think to do it.

I surely don't mean to suggest one cannot reject God and His mercy. Only that one's rejection of God does not succeed in "kicking Him out" of anywhere. Instead, it succeeds only in having Him present toward our judgment rather than our salvation.<br /><br />And as you rightly note, God's temporal David Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885067733992577305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16615632.post-56521851328994599312010-10-26T11:53:26.164-05:002010-10-26T11:53:26.164-05:00Father Schmemann also wrote: "We can only wor...Father Schmemann also wrote: "We can only worship in time, yet it is worship that ultimately not only reveals the meaning of time, but truly 'renews' time itself.

In the description it specifically identifies Christ as the Ancient of Days. <br /><br />This is consistent with a number of the creation themed icons. Christ is depicted as the Agent of Creation. There is solid biblical reasoning behind this.
