"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Four Lessons and A Gem
Four Yellow Post-it Notes to self:
(1) Don't write off the capabilities of your adversaries - when the chips are down - to find the deep well of Christian compassion within and partner with you in prayer.
(2) The net effect of a 'bully on Viagra' and a 'bully with OCD' are the same - except the former rarely lies to himself and the later often does.
(3) Never trust a prayer request to anyone who honestly admits to madness but fancies himself a victim, for your trust will be betrayed, your private thoughts published and your heart will be broken.
(4) Try to remember: Never say never.
And this little gem from a blog across the pond:
"Just because something is understandable doesn't make it excusable."
