[QUOTE="Hospes, post: 64537477, member: 116445"] I had to smile when I read "we don't see nothing good yet." My first response is "Speak only for yourself!" :) In my tiny little slice of the world I have personally seen a shattered marriage rebuilt, a drug addled man find joy and satisfaction in knowing God, a young couple - having been only married for a few weeks and ready to quit - hold their marriage together until it was strong, a man dying slowly of an incurable disease facing death with hope, a woman horribly abused find healing, and the list goes on. Every one of these cases would disagree with your assessment. Personally, I have found the joy and pleasure of being fully known, fully accepted, and embraced by the Coolest Being of the universe. For a moment I will put aside the impersonal debate regarding the creation, fall, sin, etc. Ken, I know I may sound like a lunatic to you, but you have to ask yourself if I have struck you before you as a lunatic? Do I lead the life of a nutcase? (If needed, I'd be glad to tell you why my life looks quite normal.) If you cannot convince yourself I am delusional to the extreme, then you have to ask yourself if maybe I really have experienced what I claim. Something to ponder... [/QUOTE]
