grampa, Thank you for the encouragement. Everything you say is true, but the sinner that I am, I feel like I'm blowing it. Or taking the wrong approach. Or not speaking for God properly. I mean I stay as focused on Christ as I could, try to stay scriptural, etc.... But my sinful flesh (or Satan), whichever, makes me feel guilty. But it has happened before, and I will fight through it, the best I can, with the Lord's help of course. One thing I learned long ago was this. I can not screw up God's plan. No matter what I say or do, I can't do it. It's Gods plan and will, not mine. And whenever, like in this situation, I start feeling guilty like I blew it for God, I realize how foolish and sinful I am. I mean, for me to have the nerve to say I can screw up God's plan, that's wrong. That's SINFUL!!!! And remembering I can not do anything to screw up God's plan brings me back in line and puts my mind back in order. I'm mean, I pray for opportunities like this, and this one specifically. And then when I get it, instead of immediately thanking God for answering my prayers, I feel guilty! I feel like it would be a lot easier not to enter into conversations like this. How unspiritual I am! Oh God, forgive me! But as long is I go back to God and his word, I am all right! Matthew 5 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Sorry for venting like this. It has been a rough day!!!! God Bless, Steve
