REMINDER
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

Witness is a Noun...

Once, in an AA meeting, a young man decided that he did not want to be in AA anymore. A friend who was concerned began to go to him to convince him to stay, but an older member of AA stepped in and stopped the friend saying, "No, let him go."

The friend turned to the older man and said, "Shouldn't we stop him?"

The older man replied, "If he is an alcoholic, whiskey will send him looking for a solution. Your job is to work this program so that when he looks for an answer he'll see one in you."

...

And so it is with sin.

Sin and the Holy Spirit create the desire for Jesus. Our role is to live the example of what God makes happen when we surrender to His Lordship.

Your witness is not what you say.

"You" is "your witness".

Pretty much a sinner through and through. I have two daughters and a son. God has blessed me over and over on a scale that defies any relationship to my faithfulness to Him. I'm just trying to do right by the people I know and love more of them better, (while practicing hard at being a grumpy old man.)
