Hi Splash, Thank you for your kind words of understanding. Your response brought tears to my eyes. I will be contacting Chris by telephone in about an hour, and I will read your encouraging response to him. Chris has a great respect and Christian love for you, and I know that what you have written will be received with as much emotion as I felt. It is so difficult to be what we are, not knowing for certain whom we can talk to without receiving rejection at the least, or bitter contempt or threat of violence at the extreme. It took a lot of courage for Chris to reveal as much as he has to these "experts", and I shudder to think of all the resources that are squandered by these blind leaders of the blind, who finally throw up their hands, and refuse to admit that they have no qualifications to cope with the problems they are attempting to deal with, then throw the baby out with the bath water. I pray that God is giving you the strength and grace to bear up under your burden. I include you whenever I talk with the Lord. God bless you, Splash! ~ Andy |
