I guess the point of the post was that if my 180's were solely to please W it would be discouraging.
However, the growth of SIW is not to please W so regardless of what W thinks SIW will be the better person for the 180's I continue to do.
I heard a variation of the following quote in last sunday's Easter service:
"You only need a parachute if you plan to skydive more than once." In other words, if your 180's are only for your W then you don't need to make then permanent. However, if they are forever, then you better pack your chute!
