C2H,

i'm sorry, i forgot to respond to what you were saying earlier. yes, i do see that they believe we are trying to be self-righteous. at 1st i just kept telling my W that was the way that i wanted to start living. she keeps telling me that she is not where i am at with the Lord. which is completely understandable. we do daily devotions together (which started after the bomb), but sometimes i feel she is just doing it to do it. i really don't know if she takes them to heart. D is just 6 months away, but i am continuing to trust in the Lord.

here is something else for everyone about letting go and letting God. i really had trouble with this:

Let Go and Let God
As children bring their broken toys,
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
because He is my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him
in peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back again and cried,
"How can you be so slow?"
"My child," He said, "What could I do?
You never did let go."
"Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find"

i pray that the Lord bless you all, INDEED!
