    There are many here who I think didn't have a good childhood. I am 51 years old. I think my personality if like a child is because I just cant let go of that child I was. it would be like I myself was abandoning and abusing her. She needs to be healed first. I know that seems dumb to say but even so I cant let her go. I am beginning to realize this is my problem.

    David V is another member here. He is semi cool. I was just funning in hopes of in case he paged hopped he would read that I was smacking him. I was joking. He didnt see the joke but anyway david I think if you meet him you would think him not scary too. He had a bad life too. Maybe you and him can share sometimes. He has his testimony on his page I think you will find it to be interesting.

Oh God!... it like that you know me. all round! "When that truck fell on you and you didn't get injured , who do you think was holding it off your neck, When you droved that truck in Vietnam off that road to Danang, who kept you from being tossed out ?" I went through hard moments in the moto accidents and i was not hurt. This was God. surely David its....... allaboutGod..... whoever started this net work and choose this name... God spoke through him or her.
    am doing some thing for the Lord to support the rural community in Uganda. www.owendo.org. Every body can do something, any thing to encourage and letting God shine into someone's life. a mere love card to an orphan or widow..... David you have said it all.
