Am back home again after a wonderful few days with our team in Curitiba, Brazil. As the pic shows, it’s Spring in the southern hemisphere.
Thanks so much to those who prayed for and with me along the way. I was repeatedly aware of the Lord’s presence and provision in opportunities to talk with different groups about the role of wisdom in our lives.
On several occasions, had a chance to speak about the comparisons and contrasts between “The Wisdom of Solomon and Peter” and “The Wisdom of Solomon and Jesus”. We’ve talked together about those issues in this blog.
Haven’t yet read all of the string of comments you’ve posted while I’ve been on the road. But from what I’ve seen so far, I appreciate the way you have been talking together and listening to one another on some very difficult and less than certain issues.

Am convinced that one of the things that we all keep bumping into is that, while the Bible tells us so much about ourselves and our God, there is so much more that he is not yet ready to tell us. I think we get a hint of that when the Apostle Paul talks about a man” who had a mysterious vision of heaven where he heard things that are not permissible to repeat (2Cor 12:1-4).
What Paul could repeatedly declare is that in the Cross we see the heart of a God who is far better– and who loves us far more– than any any of us could ever imagine (Eph 3:14-21).
To the extent that our lives reflect that confidence– I’m convinced that we are “at home” and “moving along” in Christ wherever we are.
Note: The real story of Brazil, as always, is the people… in Christ, and yet to be reached. Curitiba is a modern city with about 3 million in the wider metropolitan area. Interestingly, learned that the land mass of continental USA could fit into the borders of Brazil.
