The wonderful thing about this thread is everyone seems to be sharing some real problems. We have each revealed we are not perfect. Of course we each already knew this about one another, but now IMHO we are beginning to know one another a little better. You may say we are a Highway Family (whatever that means <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />). Indeed, you have shared your problems as well which is a good step in Christian maturity. A teenager today has allot more IMHO coming against him than in my day. I had a good Christian mother to assist me and even some Christian friends--though I was not a Christian, God preserved and protected what was His. jf2 (sorry this will always be your name to me...I kind of like it) you are maturing. I pray that God will take you and allow you to even more so repent and become even closer to Him. You are dealing with an abundance of problems and could be used mightily by God to help others with similar ones--some of your posts here attest to that. May God bless you and keep you and bring you even more fully to Himself.
