A good friend has been advising me to get some needed rest (haven't been sleeping well for weeks) and to take care of me. I spend a lot of time seeing about people I care about and often neglect what is needed for my own spiritual upkeep.
Paul talked about the tragedy of winning souls and being all that others needed, yet ending up yourself a castaway.
Well, I am not a castaway by any means, but it is true that I have neglected the main thing.
So, for a time I'm going to do just that...see after Barb and finding that main thing again. It shouldn't be a hard find...I know right where I left it.
Way to go sis!

God Bless you Barb. I apologize for my offenses to you.
Pressing-On, I am crying because the two lines of your post mean so much to me.
Your apology is lovingly accepted, and I ask you to please forgive me.
Above all else, PO...above family and friendships...above whatever abilities I may possess or things I may acquire in this life, I want to please Him.
I want my conversations...even online conversations to be pleasing to Him.
My opinion, though important to me, is not worth cross words or attitude...and in the grand scheme of eternity, is just not worth it.
I plan to take a little break to regroup, and when I return...be it a day or two or three, if I lose my way again, please remind about the main thing...
I need and would like to apologize to the board as a whole for my conduct that last few days.
It was not the 'Feminism' thread at fault...that just heightened the issue.
Carp asked me the other day if I had a raw nerve exposed and I guess I did. The cause for my attitude is something I am going to have to work out and sharing it here will not make it better, but I sincerely ask for your prayers.
So, to all whom I have offended and to those who have been surprised at my conduct...for my aburptness and unkind remarks, for my open questioning of admin, for my anger and general bad attitude, I apologize.
To admin...thank you for not banning me last night...I can assure you, my shame is punishment enough.
If folks around here can forgive me...then forgiving you is like inhaling oxygen!
LOL!! You are a great blessing here, Carp...I may not always tell you this or respond a lot to your posts, but you have many good and profitable things to say.
