Ned,
Hopefully Shelly will reflect on your example and encouragement, and look
for the source of that peace in Florida as well. I always remember Paul in
prison singing and praising, and how the prisoners were watching and thus
affected.
Vic, Third language? And you claim not elequint? Gimme a break lol. You do
very well, very well indeed. Having been attempting some Spanish of late, I
can appreciate the difficulty in learning a new language, but three? Geesh
man, give yourself some credit eh. Your home group sounds like a great
thing. I like the idea of everyone contributing. There seems always a need
for a person to move things along as kind of a group leader, but letting
the group contribute is a good thing, as long as it is biblical based and
not opinion based. I pray god blesses your efforts as a group to dig deeper
in his word.

It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again.
Just be sure to flush when you are done.
