Why don't I hit ignore? I don't want God to hit the ignore button on me. "Forgive us our trespasses AS (in like manner) we forgive those who trespass against us." Every morning I begin my day in prayer. "God, please direct my thinking. I ask that it bee divorced from selfishness, self seeking, dishonesty and fear. I ask to know the knowledge of your will for me today and that you supply me with what I need to carry it out. Please live through me today and seek to reconcile others unto yourself. Your will not mine be done." When I find myself offended throughout the day, I pause when agitated and seek God again asking God to save me from self-righteous anger and to help me realize in my heart that the offender is lost, sick and dying. Especially those who claim to know Christ. John, I know I have left many a place filled with contempt for those who I needed to minister unto. I have had more success than ever since I began praying these simple prayers for help and strength. God bless you brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See folks, here's the thing: last April I attempted suicide. The reasons are personal, but since then I've been making a conscious effort to remove as much stress as I can from my life. I was enjoying the political forum here, right up until the President took office on 20 January. I thought things were going to calm down then (naive, I know), only to find a small handful of posters doubling down on their slamming. So, as I said, with the ignore button I can silence those who are causing me to stumble. If that makes me a bad Christian, so be it. And, apropos of nothing, my wife (who's my co-writer) and I are putting the finishing touches on our new novel before sending it off to our agent. Prayers appreciated. Thanks!

My doctor is changing up my meds (there's nothing like being a crazy man!) and my body is still adjusting. That said, it was no excuse for me to be peevish, and again, I'm sorry. And if you're looking for more Joe Box, the other two are also on Kindle, and are dirt cheap (I'm talking pennies, as both are OOP). Thanks again.

I don't know what to post half the time. Glad I've stuck with it though. It's the only Christian forum I like. Welcome back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you have to do is select the few in which you wish to participate. But you are right. It can be overwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
