Very very good! Thank you. That's what Jason did.

I appreciate your seeing that. Why can't others? All I can think is they are strangers to God. So, they rely on strangers in time of need.

None of us is a stranger to God. Those who search for justice cannot be strangers to God.

Sometimes one's friends do not know how to help. Counsellors perform a vital function. Being objective, they can see the forest when the person that needs counselling can only see the trees.

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Rumor has it Jason was the only male in his NCSU graduating class still a virgin when he married. Rumor has it MM never said the things a lying poster said she said. Rumor has it MM was not involved in an affair with Jason, nor anyone else. Rumor has it Jason was never unfaithful to Michelle.

Here is your original post on the subject. How has "when he married" become "when he graduated?"

That's it Jake?
That's all you have?
It might have been two or three pages of dialogue but I'll bet most remember your original assertion, if for no other reason save it's absurdity.
Two or three pages Jake.
Child's play for a mental giant such as yourself. A wordsmith like you?
You can do better.
Stop being obtuse.

Obtuse? Whoa.
Careful teacher, I might not have the intellect to keep up with you.

Glad to see you on the board, though. I'll try to keep up with you. But read carefully, and think. Sometimes my obtuseness has a purpose. And sometimes I'm just dumb.

I see your point. The Lord gives us the opportunity for close family, solid friends, active church. Those become our shoulders to lean on. We don't turn to strangers.

You might like the mountains and mountain people. Are you one?

everybody already has you figured out. you don't have to explain yourself

Those are just rumors, Jubal. It's like much of the other stuff here. Nobody is responsible for them.

the Lord also says to be sure your sins will find you out.

I wouldn't be pushing the religious sector here when you might be harboring a murderer.

the Lord will forgive, but he does punish. I think the punishment is probably pretty steap when it comes to killing an innocent baby who was never able to take one breath.

My bad. I was under the impression that we are all responsible for what we post.

I reckon I can't help it, Spring. I was raised in the church. I reckon we must rely on God's punishment of the guilty.

That's what the rules of the forum say, Jubal. Love that name, by the way. Save it for your kids or grands. One of my favorites from the War of Northern Aggression is General Jubal Early.

I reckon it would be an immense relief to all trying to keep up with your written version of "Simon Says" if you were to try reckoning.:woohoo:

you can also help the guilty to see the error of their ways and to see the need for confession and that they should beg for forgiveness.

is that why you are so careful not to mention Meredith's name when you are maligning the Fisher family? God's punishment?

if you were raised in a church, you know all about those 10 commandments.

The Lord might forgive but the state of North Carolina will not.
