I didn't get the beginnings of this, but what I read from Phil was good
especially since it's not so much fear I'm experiencing irhgt now, but the
old depression. Did you know that accourding to the movie Facing the
Giants, God says 365 times in His word do not fear. That's 1 time per day,
and oh how sweet that is. We are the only religeon that can say that we
have a God that we serve not because of fear but because of His unfailing
love and relationship to and with us.
