Hi phil and all.

I feel so stuck up... or so... i don't know... i mean, i know what i had and 
i don't want to settle for less.  The horrible thing... most people in my 
community looked down at the church like it was some kind of cult or 
whatever.  Why?  Because my pastor didn't believe in the sugar-coating 
gospel like most did.  Because he stood up for Christ like not a lot of 
pastors did.  Because he believed in healing and all of the new testament 
truths.  My heart is just broken to think that satan has won... even though 
i know he hasn't!  I just wish Jesus would just hurry up!  I learned more 
from that man about God than i've ever learned in my life!   And when he 
passed, it continued for a while with the five pastors he designated... but 
then man stepped in and tore it apart... it's sad!  Phil, why did i stop 
praying with you?  Because that is right around the time i found all this 
out and it's like i can't get out of this... i don't know if it is 
depression... i don't think so... so that's why and I'm sorry.
