God is no respecter of persons--but He IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. I paraphrase the verse for my kids like this: "The sincere prayer of a man who does right is important to God." Notice it doesn't say that MAN is more important [than any other]--but that his PRAYER "availeth much."
Not so much acid...as about 20% hurt, 20% anger, 50% sarcasm and about 10% dramatics

I had been thinking yesterday that I had been so calm lately, no outburts, no cutting remarks. In fact, I thought that maybe all my "triggers" were dead and buried.

I should have known that just thinking that was asking for trouble! LOL (Kinda like taking pride in one's humility )
