Hello

[SPB1987]

Yup! My first born, you could set your watch by when he would need to eat. 20 minutes! And I don't mean maybe. 6 months straight of that. After a while of no sleep and my tools continually "getting heavier," i weighed myself and saw I was lighter than I had been since 8th grade. NOT healthy! Do take care of yourself ... never knew Bling was CoC

You can make it, but do seek help, others want to help you but do not know what you are going through.

Thank you. I went to church Sunday night and am planning in going again. What drew you to the church you currently attend? Thanks again for all you responses.

That is kind of a long story.

I taught Sunday school a Raleigh State Prison for youths (13-21) many years ago and it changed my life. Those guys that became Christian were fanatical (in spite of my poor efforts, the other 6 teachers where giants in the kingdom). These new Christians had to give up everything to the gangs including their weapons and gang protection, hold up to beatings from other gangs (pay back), and become 24/7 committed to show the snitches they were not going to give up (only way to survive). One kid that became a leader went back to school when he got out, went to college, went to grad school got a PhD in theology, and all the time was doing mission work behind the iron curtain (long story there) when he wasn't being caught and sent home.

I went to the Richardson East Church of Christ because they supported Bill Searcy in Africa at the time.

That was a very nice story. It is great to hear of people taking the time to mentor and have a positive impact on troubled youths.
