AMEN Brothers...
we are all fallible humans and all have our demons, some are more obvious and looked upon by 'the world' with a stronger lens, but God has PERFECT vision into the heart and uses all those maladies for His Good Will...
every drop of alc I consumed was necessary [as was a good chunk of my 'other 'idols'] to forge me into a tool for spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ... the fact that i percieved life in the world as 'hell on earth' thru imperfect lenses, and was then given Grace to go forward in Truth, is a Blessing indeed...
too many sit in the pews on Sunday, w/o a clue as to what they have to be thankful for...
Blessings and Prayers to all you guys and all in yer compounds...active repentence and walking in the Spirit will be much needed in the road ahead, and willingness to do what HE wants done, our wills be damned...
“...too many sit in the pews on Sunday, w/o a clue as to what they have to be thankful for...”
BOy, you sure have that one nailed right, brother...blinded by the day-to-day “shiny things” that glitter but give off no real light. And instead of living the life God gave them, some folks just simply exist because they know no other way...
You have a lot of hard-earned wisdom, good buddy Gilbo. Thanks for that.
