Well, first I have a prayer request for my husband. He's having a bad time at his job. His boss has been screwing him out of hours, but his boss is a moron. He thought since Hubman is salaried that he got paid whether he had hours, or not. But, Hubs is severely depressed about the work situation, and he told me today he is feeling quasi-suicidal.

The other thing I hate starting a thread for is I heard today that St Clemment said that Peter and Paul were betrayed by other Christians. I have his letters around here somewhere, but I don't remember reading that before. Can someone point me to where it says that? I don't know why that causes me so much disquiet. When real persecution comes for those of in the west - I think our biggest threat will be from other supposed Christians who will betray us/sell us out, and feel very smug and self-righteous about doing it.

I am not familiar with Saint Clement but if any body read these verses they may come up with betrayal.

Colossians 4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
2 Timothy 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
Philemon 1:24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

I do not know if these 3 Demas' are the same or not.
But if this is the same Demas and he was a believer, then he left, I guess that could be considered a betrayal.

Suicide is NEVER a solution!! May God envelope your DH in angels and God’s overpowering grace!!! May St. Joseph’s intercessions help him to stand straight as a strong husband through tough times. Love to you both!!! Lord have mercy!!
