Mike read from Ralph Milton's "The Essence of Julian" "We will find joy forever in the love of God and we will know that we have existed in the heart of God since before the beginning of time. In this love, God made us. In this love God keeps us. God will never allow us to be hurt in a way that would destroy this joy. When the end of time comes and we all live in the company of God, we will see clearly and understand fully the mysteries that now perplex us. None of us will need to say, "Lord, if it had been this way or that, then everything would have been just fine." Instead, we will all say together with one voice, "This is the way it is, and that is the way it shoud be, and it is well." Then we will see that everything that has happened was planned by God from the beginning of time." |

Mike again shared the writings of Julian of Norwich. "Our good Lord answered all my questions and doubts by saying very gently, "I may make all things well; I can make all things well; I will make all things well; and you will see for yourself, that all manner of thing shall be well."
