The thou's and thee's are a might confusing. Up till a couple of years ago I studied scripture daily. I've since then lost most of that ability as I can't concentrate enough to read but maybe a chapter now on a good day. That effects my reading of threads as well. Trying to listen on tape does the same thing. A physical condition that has hit my sensory system is the cause. I can hear and see but concentration is a cherished commidity now and not the norm for me. Ironically now that I finally have time to read and study I can't. But this thread got the wheels turning again so to speak. I can look up a refrence if needed as well.

If a preacher has been down a hard road of adversity and failure and can still preach the Gospel and use thoses trails as lessons to be taught others they have my attention. One who preaches peaches and cream Christianity doesn't. But that's me. Personal failures are there to learn from and to overcome to the Glory of GOD with his help. As in the case of Meyer she claims that very act. That is faith. Kind of like a song written by Kris Kristofferson. {No I don't agree with his political views} :>} called "Why Me Lord".

Try me Lord if you think there's a way I can try to repay all I've taken from you.

Maybe Lord I can show someone else what I've been through myself on my way back to you.

Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so help me Jesus I know what I am. Now that I know that I've needed you so help me Jesus my souls in your hands.

A very simple song that says what it's all about.

I would rather learn from someone who's big enough to admit they have had personal struggles which the Lord has helped them overcome than from someone who acts as though they've been pure they're whole life--God has said in our weakness is when He can be our strength. I remember once, when I returned to college with two small children, and was feeling frustrated with 4 classes to boot, I told God, I can't do this.....He said, I've been waiting for you to ask Me to help you, I never intended for you to do this alone. When we can admit we need His help, He does so much better in our lives.
