Thank you, saveliberty. I will tell you, like Tony says, it's the best thing that ever happened to me. It puts things into perspective. I've always been a Christian, but I was not previously living for God. That has changed, and that was worth what I had to go through to get there.
:-) I am glad that you recovered and that you were able to turn it into a positive life change. But it's still overwhelming as a FRiend to hear what you went through.
It's much like what's happening to Tony: we can't know what he's hearing or what he's going through so it's harder for us to understand the perspective. I am taking his lead that he wants us to be upbeat, as he is upbeat.
:-) It just takes more effort for us to get there. But we are working on it.
Cheers,

Now that's a testimony. Praise God!
Once you carry the cross, you have to get closer.
