Santiago why would I be angry at Jesus. Most on this thread are trying to find a reason for my not buying the human savior and the Christian philosophy.Yes I have suffered more pain than most do. I have been financially broke 3 times in my life. In my early life I did the "Why me Lord" of self pity like most in trouble. Like Job, I sat on the ash heap also. (Isn't that really what self pity is?)

Guess I'm different from most but I never lost belief that God would show me the way. I was taught to be humble as a child and reared in poverty so was no stranger to that. I learned early in life that problems overcome make for a strong person. My life has been filled with overcoming what most would describe as impossible problems. To list them would take years and would not be believed.

I am far from poverty now although my income is limited. I have no debt I own my home free and clear and possess many things I could sell if I was in need.

The simple answer to my change was as stated a revelation of God.
