"But if suffering is good, ought it not to be pursued rather than avoided? I answer that suffering is not good in itself. What is good in any painful experience is, for the suffferer, his submission to the will of God, and, for the spectators, the compassion aroused and the acts of mercy to which it leads."

Hey Dennis
Yup, I read the whole thing!
I learned awhile ago that to follow "a" man is flawed thinking. It also says-
"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise." (1 Corinthians 1:27)
God gave us men, meer mortals, to lead us. I'm not saying what these men and women have said is all correct. What I'm trying to say is that I don't think any one of the "religions" have it all. To think that is - pride.
I give you alot of credit for digging in to find truth. Keep on! That hunger you have, will take you far. God has His hand on you Dennis.
Follow GOD, read His Word, and pray.
I love you guys, we'll be neighbors soon! Can't wait.

Myndall and I were just talking about how much we enjoyed yous guys blogs, and we look forward to having you all as neighbors as well.
