Hey, Carol
I didn't mean you were being harsh. Your words, kind and encouraging as
they were, were used as a rebuke by the LORD to help straighten me out.
Smile. It was just what I needed to hear and led to Him giving me a good
talking to last night. Sometimes even lions have to go to the woodshed for
a paddle and an attitude adjustment. The only scary thing is that when He
does it it reminds me of Kerri's e-mails. Heh-heh.
But don't think I was upset or offended by what you said. I know you spoke
only in love and concern. Thanks.
