Thanks, Kathy.  That is a very valid point and right now I'm not sure what 
I'm supposed to be reading and what I should leave . . ..

My real problem with these forwards that require your action though goes 
deeper than that because, when I receive them, I'm immediately bombarded by 
all sorts of thoughts that I recognize are from the enemy.  "If you don't 
respond to this . . . .."  "There you are, you're too weary to do anything 
about it so you'll just throw it out again and get nowhere in the eyes of 
God", etc, etc.  Anyway, I'm not going to say to much on list but trust 
everyone will think both about what they feel (before the Lord) they should 
be sending and responding to.

My response right now is BIN anything that says "Forward", unless there's a 
real person you know should read it and just ask God how to love everyone 
every day and do things for them and say things to them that show my love 
and care.

End of ramble!  I'm off for a cuppa!
