So, while it wasn't pleasant, it was necessary and brought me to a better place - both spiritually and naturally as a person.

Bad experiences either make us better or bitter the outcome is up to us.

Right ... and I'd rather be better than bitter. As a PK, I've seen what bitterness can do to someone - and I don't want that to happen with me.

Re: Has a minister ever hurt you?
I think it is ok for us to discuss...we help each other doing so...IF we do it in the right spirit.

Re: Has a minister ever hurt you?
Jesus recieved His wounds in the house of His friends. Folks we do not love generally cannot hurt us only those we love and seek their approval and love so generally it is they who hurt us. AND truthfully we have all hurt others and disappointed them. So to hang those who hurt us will put ourselves on the gallows for we too have hurt others.

God has a way of making things right...just the other day I received a surprising phone call...my how tables turn so fast when you leave things up to God.

Re: Has a minister ever hurt you?
You are generally hurt by those you help the most...I have never figures out the just why of that statement but it usually holds true.
