Danialla, you're perfectly right! We need to meet the Boss first before we can form a truthful oppinion.

I must add, though, that my impression of God was that He was distant, uncaring and I saw Jesus as aloof, with his nose in the air and too heavenly minded to be of much earthly good.

Where did I get that idea, you may ask. Hmmm... well... from my earthly father, to tell you the truth! He wasn't much of a father at all. He had a lay prison ministry and he was known for his love of kids. In fact, he was like the Pied Pipper at church. The only child that wasn't allowed (by him) to follow him around, to hitch a ride on the bumpers or the running board of his car was me. I didn't get some of the loose change in his pocket that he handed out to the other kids. In fact, my mom never received one red cent in child support from him. THAT is where I got my idea of what my Heavenly Father must be like. Boy was I wrong! My Heavenly Father does love me, he cares and takes care of me on a daily basis, even on a minute by minute basis and only wants the very best for me as an individual!

It's been a long, difficult road for me to understand this but my Heavenly Father has always been right by my side, caring for me, always giving me what I've needed and sometimes, just giving me something I simply wanted. There's also been many a time when He said, "Not yet." You see, I'm the impatient sort. LOL

Some day, I'll have to tell my story (testimony) in whole rather than in pieces.
