Tom,

I am enjoying your forum and learning where some of us have had difficulty yet
still maintained our faith through the hard times.  This is what helps me to grow
that I am not the only one and gives me as I am sure others who read encouragement.
Thanks.

Amanda

Acts 18:9 Amanda, God spoke to the Apostle Paul, he knew what he must do for God and what did God say ? he said Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.  And always remeber to that same effect in Hebrews 2:11 it reads Both the one makes men holy (woman too i said that) and those who are made holy are of the same family. So rabbi Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers (and sisters).

When your fustrated and impatient with someone... 1 Timothy 1:16: But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and recieve eternal life. :)
