Brian, I'm enjoying 1Cor.7 very much. God is so great. Thanks so much.
Pray for me as I'm going down to spend a couple days with David. Pray God
will be there, and speak to David. Also I have a couple fun things to do.
Just because I am lonesome, and ready to date, I do NOT want to do anything
foolish. God
Bless you and your new family richly.
Janice Mason

LIFE

<Dear friends,
<
<I receive a newsletter called "Internet for Christians". The
<information in the newsletter can also be found on the Web site,
<www.gospelcom.net/ifc/newsletter.shtml. The article that
<follows is an excerpt from one of the sections in the latest
<newsletter, and I think it is germane to almost every one of us,
<so I would like to share it with you today.
<
<It is my prayer that each of us consider these lessons, then
<privately go to prayer with our Lord, asking how He can reveal
<Himself to each of us as we consider "The Lessons of Life".
<
<Dear Lord, I confess, humbly before You, that I have learned many
<lessons in life, but often without consulting You first. Please
<help me today, and my Internet friends, to patiently look to You
<for direction and guidance in every aspect of our lives. I
<freely admit that I really need You, and I thank You from the
<bottom of my heart that You are interested, not only in my
<confession, but in teaching me lessons that will last --- for an
<eternity. Speak to me now, for I come, seeking to Honor Your
<Name, giving You praise for all things. Amen.

<THE LESSONS OF LIFE
<
<I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will
<give you heartache for life.
<
<I've learned that it's taking a long time to become the person I
<want to be.
<
<I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving
<words. It may be the last time you see them.
<
<I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.
<
<I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter
<how we feel.
<
<I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls
<you.
<
<I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be
<done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
<
<I've learned that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
<
<I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you
<when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
<
<I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be
<angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
<
<I've learned that no matter how good friends are, they're going
<to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for
<that.
<
<I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by
<others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
<
<I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the
<world doesn't stop for your grief.
<
<I've learned that our background and circumstances may have
<influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
<
<I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean
<they don't love each other--and just because they don't argue, it
<doesn't mean they do.
<
<I've learned that credentials on the wall do not make you a
<decent human being.
<
<I've learned that the people you care about most in life are
<taken from you too soon. --Selected from Mikey's Funnies:
