[Warning: This is a bit of a bizarre posting - reader beware] There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests - look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular. [Luke 6:26] Two skins, both in need of care. Skins that I sometimes reveal, and sometimes hide. Skins I cloth, skins I decorate, skins that communicate. And with every passing minute I age, my skins "mature" like a fine wine or an old cheese. The skins change in flexibility and fragility, but forever they remain my container.

I still can't tell you enough what a beautiful writer you are. Every sentences touches me in some one: inspired, embarrassed, ashamed, but always illuminated, and craving more of this wisdom and knowledge that God has bestowed upon you to share with people like me, who struggle constantly with our skin.

Why?
Probably the best therapy is to express yourself. Why do you think psychiatrists make you lie on the couch and talk, while all they do is murmur "hmmm", "uhuh", or "go on"? Archives
