Of course that was only a ruse. It was the emptiness in my heart that led me to say there was no God. (What a foolish man I was.) But the day did come when Jesus invited me to come walk with Him. What a strange thing, 'this salvation.' Perhaps this is what the writer meant when he said that, "God's ways are past finding out.' By the way where Einstein said, "No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life,” he actually spoke a truism. The first time that Jesus spoke directly to me was from the pages of the Bible. Perhaps it could be said that the Bible is filled with the voice of Jesus. Love from your country cousin, Buddy Twy,

Always searching for God in a scientific fashion which to me is blatant testimony that he believed. One does not waste a lifetime in search of something that one does not believes exists. How 'bout this? “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” A. Einstein Why does "it" always have to be "either or" ... In my world, it does not !!! Thank you so much for passing those quotes along. I'll be sharing them next week.

Got to figure out some way to get u'ins down to Louisiana for a visit. Oh well, timing is everything. You make the time, He will make the way. (Now that was poetic. :) Wow - Thanks for the Albert Einstein quote. It is interesting how people like to say that Einstein was athiest. Here is what he says about that: "I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. -- The Saturday Evening Post (26 October 1929) -- Certainly Einstein was not a Christian, here is something he said about Jesus: "No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life." Thanks for writing. I always enjoy hearing from my 'long-distance, Edwards-Martin' cousin. Blessings, Buddy Hi back to you couz,

I'm in my Albert Einstein phase and my students seem to love his little quotes. This is one that I shared with them today .... I thought you might like it, too. After all you are living proof !!! “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” Hi to your family and God bless Hi cousin;
