MG, Man! Can I really relate to where you're comin' from!! What a really encouraging and inspiring post. Seems like we go thru so many of the same things on this trip. But I find great comfort in the Scriptures. Like how it is so unwise to compare ourselves among ourselves. In that way I am such a "Black sheep". But when I focus on my own journey I can only thank God for it all. It's amazing how well I am doing, in spite of it all. I tried so hard to do all the system things right, but after two bankruptcies, a house forecloser, and separation from my wife (of 20+ yrs.) I thank God more than ever that HE has me on a journey that I most certainly don't regret. Besides, all the material crap is only castles burning. (I always figured someday I'd write a book, but didn't think I'd start with chapter 7, then go right into chapter 13!). I guess Buddah was quoted as saying that it's good for one to wear a "Bell". Not only does it warn others that you're coming, but it will remind ya where you are! Keep on keepin' on Bro! And thanx for the post!
