To equate this to computers, the largest button on God's computer is the DELETE button. He deletes and allows us to start over.

The interesting thing is that an odometer was never designed to go backwards and neither our lives. As we move forward in life we must keep this in mind. The good news is that some things become more valuable in time. The odometer may climb; an inevitable factor of life, but God has an awesome way of preserving those that let Him. I am always inspired by your writing, continually impressed by your insight, and proud to be your brother!! E.L.

I pray He accepts my thanks when I do give it and understands that I don't mean to forget and I certainly do not take this life given me for granted in any way. Nice reading here, Mr. Hodges! I will bookmark your site and also link you on mie. (I'm a friend of Ethan's by the way, and a fellow writer.) Nice job on the site and it looks like I have quite a bit more reading to do here. Keep up the good work!! c I find that I do not thank Him enough on most occasions.
