I'm leveling out of my dive. I'm balancing my act. I'm walking tall and talking with tact.       yeah, right

"The more that things change, the more they stay the same"  Audi won the 24 hours at Le Mans  today for the eighth year in a row! Their turbo diesel engined cars win because they save time taking less pit stops then the others. Formula 1 is a little more interesting. If I can just manage to catch the race on tv once in a while. I'm still buying way more stuff on ebay than I'm selling. This is not good. I think it's called "retail therapy" I just can't resist a well built, reasonably priced, realistic model of a Ferrari for my collection. This does "something" for me; I'm just not sure what. But the major issue for me has always been...God? and what's going on in my old church. Last night I found out that the sisters can now wear pants? This may seem like nothing but for a pastor to preach, for almost 25 years, that women wearing "mens garments" is, according to the Bible, an abomination! and then (maybe, since business is slow?!) to change his mind?! "I had a revelation!...God told me" only makes me want to go there on a Sunday morning and "testify" of what a phony, manipulater this man is! What stops me is my "remnant" of faith which keeps me hoping that God will take care of all perpetrators in His time. I know that He's punished me when I messed up in the past. There's too many coincidences involved for me to think it was all just by chance. But I just don't have that much patience and can't bear all this time going by without some real justice & vindication. Not to mention seeing the woman I brought there finally break out of her denial and see clearly what a fake this guy is and that I was right about him. Has God used him? Yeah. Does that make him "saved?",  a real Christian? (a wheat and not a tare?)...not necessarilly...to be continued...
