Hi, Phil.

Good to hear from you.  But Man, those ideas of yours... you really are weird. 
 

Just kidding!  (It's way past my bedtime.)

I think I can see where you're coming from.  I agree with you that we all do 
visualize things, or imagine how they must be, or how they might have been. 
 We use our imaginations whenever we read or pray, or listen to a story, or 
listen to music.  

I sometimes tend to "see" the world with my mind's eye, or a nation, or a 
group of people when I pray for them.  I use my whole mind, not just the 
"text" or verbal portions, when I think of or pray for things.  I don't have a 
very good imagination when it comes to such things, but it does work more or 
less that way.

One thing is certain, we're all different in our habits and in how we say the 
things we think about.  We will not always even understand each other.  But 
God can and does use any soul that is given over to Him.

Thanks for the many good things you've shared here, Phil.  I look forward to 
receiving many more good things from your house as time goes on.

Jim
