There are too many gentle folks here, such as yourself, that I would miss otherwise.
Yes, there are and, of course, I think your decision is the best. There is much to learn from people who are willing to let you think, make wrong decisions, sometimes correct them, and grow. There is much to learn in a situation in which you can put something out there without getting the old and tired "oh, another false prophet" salute. Honest people are no more correct in their thinking than anyone else. Sometimes I disagree simply because I honestly cannot see the opposing point. Anyway, being in this particular group has help in a number of ways. Your impute is included in that compliment.
James graduated from the teaching hospital in San Fran. I am not up on some of the lingo. I and their mom was married for 23 years. The boys were 11 and 9. I had quit preaching and was just starting in the construction trade. Tough times. I coached and they wrestled. One the most macho homes in America. Really. We were tough guys. Lots of cussing and lots of fights. The boys went to Davis, to school. When they came back in the summer of 97, I had rededicated my life and was involved in a two year immersion into Christ thing. Their first question was, "who are you and what have you done with our real Dad?" Because both boys respect me, we are best friends, they have come to Christ. They saw in me a real and dynamic change. And that opened the door to Christ as they understand Him. I remarried 3 years ago -- one of the most spiritual gals I have ever met. Great to meet you and the others.
