So many "higher thoughts" buzzing through me, over me, under me.

Well, at least I think this is the right one…but, it's a matter of faith, I think. Some people will have it up front, and some people need a spiritual 2x4 applied to their heads rather liberally…but I think that if you have faith that, somewhere, somehow, someone will have faith in you and know that you are speaking truth, then you've done your job, even if it's frustrating…<br /><br />also, even if you have to repeat yourself, you've still planted a seed in their brain that could get them through their darkest hour. And it could be that hope that keeps them going when you're not there...Gina Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07551282487859820696noreply@blogger.com
