I need to say goodbye to you all who have been a blessing in my life. There have been many of you who have given me kind words of love and support and many of you who disagreed with me, but I am grateful to you all. I have a life to dedicate to my wife...to my son...to myself. ( I have more to do than sit here and type) I feel I have attained a period of "grace" in my life and I want to bask in it for awhile. (how selfish of me...)<P>I want to leave you with a message. Some of you will scoff, some of you will weep, some may merely click on another link without another thought, but I would be a selfish person if I did not share the insights to my happiness. There is a lot I would say to many here, but I can't rant forever.<P>I learned a great deal from all of this.<P>There is no shame in submitting yourself to a cause greater than yourself. There is no failure in throwing down your pride...in stripping yourself of all your shells, defenses and selfish wants. There is no crime in living your vows...your commitments. There is no danger in bearing your soul. There is nothing lost in giving your heart away. There is no greater happiness than in making someone smile and no greater failure than in making someone cry.<P>Forgive the transgressions of others... forget the malicious intents, the hurtful words, the mistakes of others. Doing "good" (loving) always nullifies the negative feelings. If you can't make yourself a better person, how can you expect another to be a better person?<P>Understand your human nature, your weaknesses, your stregths, your flaws and your capacity for greatness.<P>Know that God's love abounds and His grace is for those who want it. All things in His time and according to His will.<P>Know that "to love someone" is to be a conductor of God's love. That is to say that when we open our hearts to God, we are a damn through which His abundant spirit reaches others. The degree to which we open the flood gates is up to us.<P>As I look back on the world's history, I notice something. Not one truly great leader, hero or role model ever lived without great personal sacrifice. Not one ever blamed others for their woes. Not one ever gave up hope. And not one ever had it easy.<P>With faith, hope and love we will be more than conquerors in the sight of God. With a little kindess and a lot of strength and courage, we will find happiness once again.<P>Until the devil strikes again...and he sure does try, doesn't he?...goodbye.<P>God bless you all!!<P>Peter<P>------------------<BR>"Love isn't someplace that we fall, it's something that we do"--Clint Black<BR>

one last note....if we shine as brightly as we can as children of God...as people...how can an adultering OP ever get the attention they want from our loved ones? They shall all become blind from our glory!<P>Peter

Have a really good life, Peter...<P>all the best that life and the world has to offer to you and your loved ones.....<P>Dylan

Best of luck and God bless you and your family. Please let us know how you are doing sometimes...

Peter,<P>How wonderful to be spending time rebuilding your famly!

God Bless you and your Marriage. Keep pressing on........<P><P>------------------<BR>"If you can learn from the mistakes of others, you won't have to make them youself."<P>

I cried, and i smiled. My heart is filled with love for someone i've never met. Maybe there is hope for me and my H. God be with you always. BSJ
