Brother Lee had wanted to have a time of fellowship with Don immediately following the session, but Don was so troubled and depressed that he told Brother Lee he had to go home. As he walked out the door, Titus Chu came up and said to Don, "I’m afraid this will make our situation worse. I hope not”.

It has been a while since I have visited this forum. This recent thread is very insightful. It makes me wonder when we will have an opportunity to read the next chapter of the book Don Rutledge is writing. I truly hope all continues well with him in these days.
