Oh Dear. I certainly understand the process you're going through ... the great deal of searching, insight and "giving up" required to make such a courageous statement, but you know what, Mercury? I liked your advice. I liked your male POV. I really, really enjoyed how a man might perceive things -- so there was no offense taken here, dear, and while I accept your gracious statement of intent to turn things over to God -- sometimes a human perspective is what fellow humans need most -- and if you change too much, I will miss your "voice," your wisdom, your insights and your humor. I think you're terrific just the way you were ... and just the way you're becoming, of course .... I think you're just plain terrific, and I'm proud of you for the very hard and important work you're doing. In closing, perhaps I should say I'll seek less advice, and make a greater attempt to turn inward myself .... Although that's not always easy, and thank God for this support we have here. If I cut my finger, I'd expect God to suggest I get myself a bandaid .... And when I don't know what to do (or don't have the wherewithall to turn a listening ear inward), I suggest He'd tell me to talk to my "friends" here on Dr. Bob's pages.
Wishing you well, dear, and closing with much affection.
Temmie
