Well said, knarf.
I was made most aware of my own thoughts when my wife went home June 15, 2004.
After 21 years of beautiful, Christian wedded bliss .. I posted THAT NIGHT here .. "Rejoice with me ..." (or something like that.) That thread lasted about a week and I read every reply .. and God bless FreepeRs, but no words or material anything could reach anything other than my facade, my shell. The deep and inner stuff was happening with me and Jesus. (and is on-going)
Brother Don is light years ahead of "Christian" America. And if we want to know the reason we have a Chi-town Chi-ster (pun intended) for president, it is the deep and personal relationship with God missing from the hearts and minds of Americans.
My pastor reminded us last night at church that God appoints the leaders and HE has not lost control ... and I must admit ... watching the historical times of the last couple of months, I stand in awe.
