<< It's their problem. Right??>> Sidney There are no free lunches in life, Sidney. The road to becoming a responsible person, free from the demons of the mind is a road that must be taken alone. "Freedom of choice" sounds great but we are creatures of habit who fight change until it is forced upon us through pain. Christians are not exempt from pain and testing and God is not going to heal us until we do our part. Most Christians have a simplistic view that once saved their life is going to be easy and fruitful because God is going to give them physical treasures and freedom from want. Nothing could be further from the truth. When we are truly saved we are agreeing to carry the Cross of Christ, become weak and to trust Christ to give us the strength we need through his power, not ours. I am willing to help those who know they need help and are humble enough to ask for it. I can only help by relating my experience that they may be able to identify with. Many ask for help but lack humility. They are only wanting you to do it for them. It is just not possible to help anyone unless they are brought to humility through humiliation and pain. I know you don't agree with me on anything because you are one of those who has so much pride that you refuse to believe that anyone can tell you anything because you think you know it all. You think I am narrow minded and Brian is a clanging bell. I hope, for your sake, that God removes the scales of prejudice from your eyes so that you may know when one is only wanting to help and is in no way playing the ego game of I'm better or smarter than you. This macho thing instilled in men is one of the devil's favorite tools and you need to acknowledge it. James
