  With all respect due, what's the harmonica content of the following ???
   IMHO, religion is a private matter. And should be kept private...
   Administrator, any comment?

Still praying for you, Gary. Hope all is going well.
I gotta tell you these things that follow because I want to make sure  
you're on the right track, I'm charged by God to tell you.
Remember that God is always more concerned with our spiritual well- 
being than our physical. I know that's hard for some to swallow, but  
the physical, the flesh, is only temporary. Last time I checked, wait  
a minute.... figures just coming across the ticker... yes, once  
again, it's confirmed - 100% of us will die. But the spirit that  
moves on will go somewhere for eternity. All paths lead to heaven?  
Maybe. But Jesus, the only perfect man who walked in our shoes, said  
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father  
but through me." The entry into heaven is only through Him. Harsh?  
No, not really. Truth is truth. God is God. And He says it's NOT by  
good works, so that no one can boast. It's a gift. Nothing we can do.  
It's called grace. Favor given to us although we do not deserve.  
Every other way that people say to get into heaven is by some sort of  
work. Then you have people crawling over each other saying they did  
more/better than the next.
Seek to know Jesus, Gary. Not man's ideas or flawed philosophy, look  
what mess we're in. Certainly not man's idea of religion. It's all  
messed up too. Jesus had some pretty harsh things to say about  
organized religion. I'm not saying church is bad... but when THEY  
start telling you what or what not to do, that's wrong. I look for  
churches who teach the word of God, and  let the Word speak to me and  
my situation. Not some preacher man.
It's not even what we think we know as right or wrong. That's all  
based on our value system. God's value system is the only one that  
matters. I mess up according to His measuring stick every day. That's  
why I need to accept His Son's death on the cross as payment for my  
wrong stuff, my sin.
That's what I have to say, Gary. I need to know that you know who He  
really is, and that you begin to seek Him and Him alone. He's changed  
my life. And continues to do so. I know where I'm going, not because  
of what I've done, but ONLY because of what HE did for me.
Later man.
Ray.
