I read that book too, Pollyanna! \:\)

So funny what we will grab onto that allows us to cling to hope..... sad too.

Puppy, you once gave me some much needed encouragement by telling me you wanted to stand up and cheer for the woman that I was the night I found out about my H's PA, and I told him what I felt without crying or breaking down. To this day I will think of what you said when I get really down and it helps me to strive to be strong and true to myself even if it's not "good DBing".

You are a good man, Pup! Hang in there! The woman who wins your heart one day will be a lucky dame!!!! ;\)


Posts like this really encourage me, SC. We get so busy in our lives, and we think we're just treading water and not really making a difference, and then someone from across the cyber-universe who you don't even know reminds you that you touched them in some way, and all of a sudden you see PURPOSE in your life again.

I try to exhort, to call people up to all that I believe God has intended for them. Many times that's also consistent with DB, and sometimes it's not, but I always call 'em as I see 'em. As a Christian, the hardest thing is to know when God wants me to turn the other cheek, and when He wants me to throw over the moneychangers' tables. Most of the time, it's something in-between -- we are to lovingly detach, hold up our boundaries, and enforce them without hate or venom.

It's rewarding to see so many people on here GROW. Sometimes I focus on everyone's PAIN, and it gets really sad and discouraging, but other times you see the growth and you know that thru pain, God can accomplish great things in our lives, if we let Him.
