It never works for me, David. Love works wonders. Criticize me and I rebel or shrivel up. Love me and encourage me and I climb mountains. Maybe that's why God handles us all so differently? :-) :-)

Love,

Caroline

I like being kicked in the pants like this. It sounds like maybe you don't?


I think a lot of my failures stem from lack of discipline and just plain
laziness. Exhortations to shape up or ship out, read the Bible, fail not,
etc. are very encouraging to me. It is discouraging to me, however, to hear
others lament about others giving such exhortations. Maybe you can help me
understand how you are offended by such words. I truly wish we could all
appreciate such exhortations to do as we ought to do.


Peace be with you.
David Miller.
