Cooper,
In the first place, I am a man, and you are a man.
Whatever I am that is worthwhile, I am only because of the grace of a merciful God.
That same grace is available to everyone. You are not of less worth than anyone else.
And you aren't unworthy of love and kindness.
I only said what I said to explain why sometimes people get vexed with you and back off from trying to help.
I personally have prayed for you many times, and have always felt that you had much potential and are a gifted man. I have said that over and over again.
But all that potential is going to be just so much unfulfilled and buried talent unless you can find it within yourself to work in harmony with a truth-preaching body and pastor.
I wish you well, and decided a while back that I didn't want any more shoot outs with you.
It is frustrating as a pastor to see someone who has so much to offer the Kingdom of God not utilizing abilities that many committed and faithful people would love to have to offer.
