Thanks Pack. I had a look at your sitch and there is a lot that I can relate to. I'm so glad S6 is having such a great time with you. That is definitely one of those things that you are doing that is just for him and you. Keep at it!

I guess is something we need to carry internally.
My W said the same, something like "sure you believe in the importance of M now; where was that in the past?" I told her it was always there, but my understanding has grown more now. I knew M was important, but know it even more now. I knew it was important to God, but understand why even more now. Etc. Although God can look at the inside, people get an impression looking at the outside. Ditto changes - God works from the inside out (heart, mind, attitudes), and the fruit of that is not always immediately visible.
