God knows where we're at all along the journey regardless of what path we take. And He can reach out to us at any point and does.
Just as an observation, I can see where you're going with this. I don't want to call it hair-splitting, because I do believe that what you've been talking about here does matter. We do need to think literally. We do need to take things literally, which means our words do matter.
I guess we're still in the warm up stage. :) Waiting for the big swings myself, but I'll be patient. I promise. :) I have been enjoying these videos, though. Please keep them coming.
