It's the 'left hand/right hand' thingy, DM. When I've heard from Judy
concerning her daughter's plight (recently) or from Iz, concerning a block
party (some time back), I see them as accounts of a different order. Believe
me, DM, your 'light' is there for all to see. When not seen, you usually
draw our attention to it so, not to worry about that.

I think you are letting your bias and sectarianism get in the way. How
many
historical Christ's have their been? Do you really think the Mormons are
speaking historically of someone other than Jesus of Nazareth?

I guess I should have known better, Lance. However, I only shared the
last
few days of blessings, hoping to demonstrate to you that I have no reason
to
be ticked or angry. Sharing a small portion of my last few days is hardly
being inclined to trumpet my good works. How sad it is that I cannot
share
any kind of praise report in this forum without fear of being rebuked for
having Pharisaical inclinations toward self promotion and aggrandizement.
For your sake, the good Lord willing, I will henceforth try to remember to
remain silent concerning such "good works" (I don't think of them as
such),
but I do kind of wonder if this amounts to putting my candle under a
bushel.
Did not Jesus teach us the following?
Matthew 5:14-16
(14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot
be
hid.
(15) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
(16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
