Good point, Daniel.

Prayin' for ya Danny boy.

I won't pretend and say "I know what you're going through" because my situation is different... But I will say Jesus does and He's with you in it.

Dan,

I just found out very recently about some of the things going on in your world right now.

I am deeply, deeply sorry, and will certainly be holding you up in prayer.

We haven't exactly agreed on much around here, but none of that is personal with me.

My parents divorced when i was six, so I have some perspective on these things, at least from a child's point of view.

I will be praying for you and those precious babies.

I don't think anything in the world hurts like family issues. It gnaws at your very soul.

Sometimes you just have to retreat to the point of knowledge that at the end of the day ultimately you can only control yourself and your own actions, walk with God, etc. Free will can be a pain many times because as much as we would like God to just make everything right in our lives and the lives of those we love he will not violate peoples free will. that free will can cause people to do lots of really dumb and bad things!
