Oops, sorry!!!  In the past, on this forum and the other, when I offered a little word of wisdom or discernment I was thoroughly put in my place since I am a former local church elder. I and Toledo must never offer any semblance of admonishing or warning since we are forever polluted by our past association. |
Brother Hope, sounds inviting indeed ... library stacks at SMU? ... fascinating discoveries from the wildest of places? ... now if only I could get my wife on board ... or shall I say on the beach ... but ...
are not all things possible with God?
As far as the "beating" you took on the forum ... it was indeed painful to watch at times, and quite disturbing to me too. Mostly, it's not just the differing points of view, but the insistence on them, that divides us as believers. We are a bunch of hurting people, and hurting people hurt each other! I have long considered myself to be "damaged goods." But, no matter how beat up we are,
in Christ Jesus there is hope for us!
