Thank you for your kind remarks.
I do so miss spending time here. Know, though, that while my schedule prevents me from spending more time posting, my heart is here. And I do check in to read posts. |

| I notice this thread started years ago. Hope the guy is saved by now. I think it helps for someone to pray along the lines of "God, if you exist, show me." If I'm praying for someone whose not saved, or a brother or sister who are struggling with something that they think may be "too... |

| Just so we're clear. I still struggle with anger. Sometimes it's righteous, most times it's not. What I do find helpful though, and what puts Satan in his place as well as gets my heart at least closer to the right place is prayer. Most times the wording isn't what's important so much as 1.)
