Barry, it is my belief that the approach you have choosen is "top shelf". Looking to God for guidance is never a loosing way. BTW, is this the friend(G...) you mentioned awhile back. The one I have been praying for? You are a natural encourager which is a great gift.
"(1 Cor 6:17 NASB) "But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him." "A Christian is a mind through which Christ thinks, a heart through which Christ loves, a voice through which Christ speaks, a hand through which Christ helps. Guidepost Magazine
Barry, here is one that requires some self-discipline from us, " (1 John 2:15 NASB) "Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Live in the world, Be thankful for the things God provides, but walk with Him and love Him, not the world.
"(2 Cor 4:18 NASB) "while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Jesus is love,
God bless,
David
