People do put their name after their comments. I have always considered this section as a steam valve for crackpots. 7,000 people coming out of curosity, desire, loneliness, confusion, and desperation. I am reminded of how the multitudes came to hear Jesus for the same reasons. Don't be discouraged. You are on the winning team!!

The enemy has blinded them to this, they see only our short comings and not theirs. How sad. Why is it that in a country of 260 million people, a country that is still democratic (for now) do we give power to the few. In my family we take votes as to where we want to eat or go or whatever, and the majority rules. If you get defeated, too bad. Maybe next time you'll get to do what you wanted to do. Honestly, why is so much time and resources wasted on trying to be "politically correct" and not offending anyone. Jesus offended thousands wherever he went. I think it's time to start offending, telling the truth, openly sharing our testimomy. Keep doing hard things. I can't wait to here the Lord say " Well done ". Jeff Rawlins Vancouver, WA Michael,
