Highspeed traffic in Heaven
We all knew it would happen sooner or later. All our throwing satellites around has finally gotten someone hurt. I hope he forgives us.

Heavenly fatherliness #42 - Feeling protected
According to popular wisdom, a good father makes his children feel protected.
Feeling protected means we experience peace of mind knowing that Heavenly Father protects us, loves us, comforts us, and will stand up for us. I think a good many believers do feel that protection and it gives them confidence and strength. But I also believe just as many believers constantly feel vulnerable and in need of protection. In fact, I would say that believers, the righteous as well as the wicked, even feel threatened by God himself and his ever-looming judgements against them.
It's a strange head game God is playing, one in which we're always left guessing whether or not we're still on his good list. How safe does that really make us feel?
