Depleted, Blain, I apologize. I took a little time out because I know I was getting a bit hot under the collar here. I haven't read any more of the exchange, and don't care to continue it. While there are times you need to shake people, I don't know that this was one of them. The fact that Blain spoke a word about it gave me pause to consider it isn't. So I apologize if I stepped over the line with my attitude.
Part of the passion is because I
do understand what you are talking about. I understand from untold depths the elephant dung. Swim in a cesspool of it each and every day. For a long time I blamed and tried to accept that it was from God. And I learned thru g
reat personal loss that it's not from Him. Cost me my life, you might say. Yes, God can and will use the elephant dung of our lives to produce flowers and fruit and life. But He is not the one who provides it. He is not the one who provides it. And it hurts me to see someone so convinced that He does.
I'm praying for you, Depleted. Praying for all of us. I'm on your side, no matter how snarky I get
