An intimate relationship (with Jesus)

It's a beautiful day today- spent it sketching and analyzing the space and building of and around the pantheon... Yesterday spent all morning walking around the Vatican gardens (where the pope takes strolls- and like NOBODY gets to go there, but somehow we got the hookup and it was breath taking!! not what I expected, but still beautiful!) then a two of my classmates and I went to the Roman Forum and the Colosseo just to see it for the first time- we go back and back and back to these places, and every time you notice something different and get a more and more intimate appreciation for these magnificent monuments... looking both at context as well as individual... I like to look and relate it to our relationship with Christ-- the more we go to him the more intimate our relationship with Him... It NEVER gets old... ONLY BETTER!! And every time you meet with Him and spend time in the word, you are always guided, and you notice something different about what a month ago you read in a different sense... When studying the Bible it's like reading a story (context) and then relating it to your individual life... God is great!
