I am afraid of scaring people to death, sometimes, Beth. It's hard to know. But if these things help someone I suppose it is fine.
Dear Padraig, Bringing one closer to God is what you are called to. It is a gift and privelege that few are chosen for. I sense a humility about you in all of this, and that in and of itself is a good sign. It is an awesome responsibility....but if He leads you to it, He'll see you through it+ Thank you....
Padraig, Your wisdom and web site are a blessing to us all. There are over 1,200 registered members here and countless visitors ever day. I don't think you are scaring people away but drawing them in. You are truly an instrument of God.
