However, getting a little older, I'm realizing more and more of these tensions (as you put it) or out and out fights. It's saddening really. I know, though, and try to continue to remind myself that in many ways I'm responsible for these problems, particularly because of my pride and refusal to serve others. As others have said, this is an excellent, practical resource for understanding how to behave and best glorify God. Thank you. I for one will try to put these suggestions into practice this year... and continue into 2010. -Marshall Jones Jr. I’m a pretty young guy, so I mostly remember Christmas as a joyous occasion, even if over things were going on in the background.
