I am sorry to hear that. I understand the grief you must have felt over the lost teaching moment.

I continue to experience this grief myself, as those who are zealous to instruct others in the ways of our traditions and jump if someone does something outside the scope of their custom, become a hindrance for those who would simply take God for His word and experiment upon that word with child-like faith.

I continue to struggle with whether to confront these folks when it occurs, and if I am to do so ... how and when?

The initial chapters I wrote here, came very fast and furious, in just a few days. I was inspired, and knew what I was writing ... and then I hit a brick wall. I continue to receive messages from others about the writing of this book and its importance, even got another message this morning in a phone call. Though most of these folks do not know what the book is about - only that I am writing. I wish to hear more directly from the Lord about some of these things. I believe I will need to start a fast very soon.

I continue to struggle personally ... in the midst of pondering the writing of this book, and other matters regarding the Church. I feel great spiritual opposition. Not from people ... but in the spiritual realm, like a great war. I may need to get some prayers from people to overcome it.

Blessings!
Doug
