[Jonathan] Edwards bases this distinction on the difference between two ways of knowing. On the one hand, there is knowledge that is merely speculative, notional, a mere cognitive awareness of some truth. On the other hand, there is what Edwards calls “the sense of the heart” in which one recognizes the beauty or amiableness or sweetness of that truth and feels pleasure and delight in it. It is the difference between knowing or believing that God is holy and having a “sense” of or enjoying His holiness. “There is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness.” Thus “when the heart is sensible of the beauty and amiableness of a thing, it necessarily feels pleasure in the apprehension.”

"Energy Efficient Windows"
   

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive
double pane energy efficient kind.
 
But this week I got a call from the contractor who installed them.
 
He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and
I hadn't paid for them.
 
Hellloooo ? Now just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am
automatically stupid.
 
So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told ME last
year. ..namely, that in just ONE YEAR these windows would pay for
themselves !
 
Helllooooo ?  It's been a year!  (I told him)
 
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just
hung up....
 
He didn't call back.
 
Guess I won that stupid argument.
 
"From the Beginning"
 
 
My Dad and I were talking the other night about
love and marriage.
He told me that he knew as early as their
wedding what marriage to my Mom would be like.
It seems the minister asked my Mom, "Do you
take this man to be your husband."
And she said, "I do."
Then the minister asked my Dad, "Do you take
this woman to be your wife," and my Mom said,
"He does."
 
"Airline Humor"
 
As a frequent flier, I get annoyed when other
passengers disregard the airline attendant's pleas to
stay seated when the plane taxies to the gate. One
attendant captured my heart by announcing:
"The captain will be parking the aircraft at Gate 41
in approximately two minutes. I've seen the captain's
car. So if I were you, I'd remain seated."
