This is NOT what I expected!

Great analogy, TL. H & I are avid gardeners. We have even discussed how we failed to tend our marriage and allowed the weeds to take hold, rather than cultivating & caring for it.

Thanks for saying I'm not nuts, I sure feel like I am. I feel like Paul in Romans 7:19: "For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing."

It's hard not to feel nuts when you KNOW the good you should do, but you keep choosing the opposite.

I think I'm going to print your reply, take it to lunch with me, and commit it to memory, especially that perfect passage you quoted.

Tough Love is exactly what I need! Thank you.
