You said it very well. OK it could have been much better; however, I agree with you fully. I enjoy reading your various writings. You manage to reflect a politically neutral viewpoint which is very cowardly but refreshing. :O (I don't know if this will translate in a smiley emoticon or not but that's what I intended to be.)

You are truly blessed to have such a mentor. I wish we all had mentors like that. He is a true gift to you it sounds like. Struggles come .....I admire your willingness to share. It helps the rest of us remember that we're all in this humanity boat together and we need to hold each other up with prayer and kind, edifying words. God bless you as you go from glory to glory. You are regularly in my prayers.

in your weakness God speaks to me strength. I thank him for the elders male and female we have in our church, their wisdom and faithfulness is truly sent from our Father. Thank you Ira and Sarah for your guidance and faithfulness.

So fascinating that someone in such a position of wealth and power could seemingly give no thought to throwing it all away. Good analogy Ira
