I knew the truth, she knew the truth, and time vindicates all things.

God fights your battles for you if you keep your spirit right, Coop. Nobody ever said it would always be easy.

You did good. sorry for your wife.

This from a pulpit.

That was a little tough to swallow.

But we didn't go chatismatic over it.

What did you do? Just wondering how you handled it. I know you didn't lose your cool.

I sat there and held my wife's hand. Not much else to do at that point.

I did have to pray long and hard for the man and ask the Lord to give me enough love for him that I could forgive him.

It was not easy, and believe me, there were a lot of other things going on. It did drive me to places in prayer that nothing else would have.

Of course, as I said, this one anecdote was just one of many things we suffered in the course of this ordeal. And this wasn't even the worst one.

And still, the hurt did not cause you to leave the church and drop everything that you believe in? That is amazing.

It wasn't God's fault. No use blaming him.

Coonskinner,
That's they only thing we can do - ask God to allow us to forgive. We are going to be offended every which way we turn and hate, anger and bitterness just ruin the whole journey!

I would have at least gotten up and politely walked out... with her on my arm... And not come back.

Ron,
You know I like you, but we have to be so careful what we teach the church, our kids, new converts.

Quitting in the midst of adversity is not the route to take.

You know we went through that horrible deal in Austin. We wanted to get up and leave and God said, "No, stay put." We did and God brought the victory.

"No weapon formed against thee shall prosper."
