_{You got it Kim, having that said there is only one that we have to rely on if we truly commit to rabbi Jesus' ways, to boast and defend the Gospel in which i try to do everyday by encouraging or just giving my thanks. Its hard to demonstrate online but with the truth, the honesty will come out and you see it sort of come alive lol}

Nice talking Thomas, nice to hear a fervent witness. It's not only hard to demonstrate online but out in the world, where we people are so conditioned to "hear" what we've been conditioned to hear, and some of that is...what our own head is thinking vs. what others are trying to convey. We all have this tendency but it is possible to Learn to conquer it. How will we learn and grow if all we can or will hear is only what we already think? Do we really form beliefs and opinions freely or do what we are exposed to form them in us?  How do we know we have then exposed ourselves to the right things?  What are the right things? Yes I am in philosophy now, ha ha!  But really, we in general are not the Thinkers we historically were and when we are not, we become intellectually superficial and spiritually also. Perhaps an awakening is what we need; both an intellectaul and spiritual one! After all, a man's life does not consist in the things he possesses, as is a popular belief today, but "Life is in the Spirit;" God's Spirit that is.  Later on, it's 3 hrs later here. 

Your either Luke warm, hot or your not in in the fight at all, by  luke warm you are just escaping through the flames this is not what God wants, he wants a full commitment and go full force in winning that race God set out for each individual to use, his main goal is to evangelize the people of the world through men and woman like us who took the calling. He gave us this world, he gave us his Son to see for ourselves that God was and is real and alive living in each baptized Christian, im just grateful to give back what he gave to me.
