This is the "glass, darkly". Entertainment and consumer culture reinforce the 'reality principle' (i.e., that there's nothing behind the veil, mundane life is the most real thing), but Christ destroys it --- literally tearing the curtain in two. So your dream is not to be discounted, because the question of whether or not your dad was "actually present" has no meaning. The dream tells you something about Reality, which is confirmed in the Text. Death is swallowed up in victory. That's not a promise, it's a factual and present Reality.<BR/><BR/>I had a similarly "Real" experience while in Chile, exposed to the elements. Linshuang and I were wet and cold and being chased by a nasty storm, and we started pleading with God out loud --- immediately the wind changed direction and blew hard against the storm for the rest of the day. We stayed dry all the way out of the trek, and only as we left the park two days later did the pent-up rain start coming down on the mountains again. I kept thinking, "even the wind and waves obey him".M.

I think about that a lot ... at my brother's wedding I think is when I realized that it wasn't going to end ... the list of wonderful things that happen without him. So I hope you keep dreaming about him and he keeps catching up with you.laurabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075480648215677873noreply@blogger.com
