Thanks Brian-

Very encouraging words. For me to live up to is my desire- although I fall short of the mark. I often contemplate this prayer, and wonder who may achieve it in this life. I don't think that I shall...

Lord, make us instruments
of your peace.
Where there is hatred
let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that we may not
so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood
as to understand;
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving
that we receive;
It is in pardoning
that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are
born to eternal life.

Amen

Saint Francis of Assisi

I was practically raised in an emotional and often physical combat zone. You know the story. What I learned I dare not let any man take from me. I learned well. I had to. For me there was no other option. Ther are many ways for a Christian to serve God. Each of us have a unique purpose. How we achieve it, imo, is in God's hands.

I will never let a fool wound a friend, which I consider you to be. A faithful friend for sure.

God has formed the clay for many uses.

God bless you,

James
