Hi!

This Radicalmonk here. I am happy to be a member of some Christian group, although I realize that this is far from being able to replace true, face to face, embrace to embrace, tear to tear, elation to elation fellowship in a local church and everyone here may not hold some of the same beliefs and values as I and some not even a Christian, I do hope that being here helps to supplement the lack of a local fellowship membership as my wife and I seek such. My Spiritual gifts are two in number and I hope to be able to benefit others here with them as I strive to exercise them and also with any talents and abilities I may have. The Lord has truly blessed us in a multitude of ways regardless of appearances and continues to do so unbelievably. We love and praise and serve the Lord God Jehovah/Jesus Christ and pray that His Spirit grows and develops in us unceasingly. If you are interested in more about me please feel free to visit my profile it is now completed.

My background has forged a character who may be a bit frank and to the point or short. I used to be in a position which couldn't waste time with small or "feel good" dialogue as it could have cost me and/or my comrades their lives or great bodily harm as it would have been most likely interpreted as a weakness and made me and/or my area a target. But I AM really working at developing Kindness and Gentleness (Gal 5:22) now that I am retired from both jobs. Gentleness and Kindness just don't come instinctively all of the time, yet. But this type of written dialogue gives me a chance to backup and remember and rethink/rewrite; as long as I don't feel the rush to hit "Submit."

By the way, in my profile pix, I am the small one. The big guy is my Grandfather.

May God bless this site for His glory and honor, forever. Amen

I have had to leave site for good as a ton of tracking cookies gets put in my pc every time it opens up according to a rectangular window in lower left of screen and my pc doesn't work right any more immed after this. I have to close everything and run a full scan for almost 3 hrs to make sure it is cleaned up.

I may not be here much longer as starting today every time I come to this site 22 - 67 cookies get immediately downloaded into my computer and then it doesn't work right. My typing is all delayed response; everything is delayed for some reason. I tested it twice by performing a Norton scan ea time immed b4 coming here. That is how I know about the cookoies. Typing & all were great till I came here and those cookies got downloaded ea time and my computer got messed up. it is agin. I was going to write ea of you but forget it it is too frustrating to type. Good nite.
