I was floored by the post where someone's pastor advised them to come and talk to you! That's amazing.

You are a very wise man, and we are very lucky to have you here at MB <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You know, it was humbling to hear that also. But I can only do what the Lord allows me to do. I am just glad that He is using me in this way. It feels good to be a scalpel in His hand, so to speak!

Thanks.

In His arms.

MM,

Although I don't quite know you well enough to give you "grief" about it, I do know your heart and want to echo Caren's thought's.

Here here!

God blessing upon you be abundant as you continue to serve Him.

FWIW - I'd suggest an ice compress for anything that is swelling. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

S&C

Hey Mortor, long time no talk. I just wanted to tell you that the prayer you mentioned, the "Lord I pray your will be done no matter what it takes" type prayer, is the one I have been praying ever since I read that here. I think it is an excellent idea for prayer. It has offered me some peace of sorts to pray that. And since praying it, well, I am not saying this is because of the prayer,but, I think while wh is in iraq his "ow" is showing her true irresponsible colors. She was supposed to have turned his plates in on his car over 2 weeks ago since he took them off the road. As of this week he has no insurance. He almost would have come home to a suspended lincense had I not caught the fact that she had NOT turned in his plates. (via our insurance company) He, of course doesn't thank me for catching that but that is ok, I do believe ow got a firm talking to for it. And, he left HER in charge of mailing my child support checks he had prewritten and post dated before he left. Well, I never received them this week until I told him I had not and than poof! suddenly they are here. He must have had to talk to her about that as well. I was kinda mad at first that he left her in charge of my checks and kinda mentioned to him that I was surprised he left it up to her as it is not her responsibility but I have a new take on that. I am thinking it must drive her nuts to have to write an envelope out to me and mail ME a check every two weeks for over 400.00 that SHE is not getting to help pay HER apt and expenses with him staying with her! Amen to that, I pray it drives her nuts! LOL

So mortor, thank you as I continue every night to pray this prayer. I pray I see more things, and even what I don't know about or see, more importantly that wh gets comepletely fed up with her irresponsibility and actions while he is gone. Like you said mortor, "no matter what it takes" mlhb
