We are hardwired to trust in ourselves. That’s not good for us or the God-glorifying purpose for which God created us. Therefore, suffering is used to break us of self whereby we might trust more deeply in God. So God’s intent in suffering is not to pull us away from Him as many people seem to believe, but rather draw us closer to Him. And the more He strips us during affliction of our human resources and excuses and justifications and easy way outs, the more we will run to Him and cling to Him as the only thing we’ve got.

Hello guys ...

Jack is away and has left the pastormail list "unmoderated"
through tonight when he gets home.  However he did ask that I keep
taps on things for him ... and if the conversations got to be too much
... please ask that the discussion be brought to an end.

I believe the "cloning" issue has been pretty well discussed. 
I am inclined to say let's move on.  I think some of the recent questions
are getting away from responsible discussion.

So in respect for Jack our moderator ... let's please
move on and leave the cloning issue alone.

Thanks for your understanding.

Bob AuBuchon
