Letter 22

This week I choose to write about letter 22. I liked this letter mostly because I found it to be very humorous. When he discusses everything about the women that the patient has fallen in love with, he picks out every last bad thing about her. Although he makes it seem as though these are all terrible attributes to have, they really aren't. I almost laughed when reading through it because he puts so much emotion in bringing her down. He gets very aggitated by this women and her family, which is a side of him we haven't seen before. A quote that I really liked was when he said, "Transformation proceeds form within and is a glorious manifestation of that Life Force which Our Father would worship if he worshipped anything but himself." This quote stuck out to me because I found it questionable. Does He really only worship himself? I honestly don't think so. I think that by reading through Luke, I am learning to understand the different aspects of what He really wanted out of us. It's very interesting how my perceptions have changed, because I never thought that it would happen. Happy Reading!

Well said Becky. I agree that it is a funny part of the story and how he talks about all her bad qualities and such. I also agree about our study of Luke. God does not want us to worship ourselves, he wants us to serve others and him, rather than us. Glad you are happy reading. Blog's are super fun.

I agree that this letter was comical, along with the others. I really liked your connection to the Luke readings we have been doing. I also liked the quote you choose because I thought the same thing. But, I agree and don't think he means He really only worships himself. Good blog!
