<<  I'm sorry but I cut my teeth spiritually
 on steak and potatoes, very little milk. >>

Me:

Heb 5:14
14	But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, ...
(KJV)

You:
 <I could tell more sob stories than anyone on this list, <snip>>

Me:

I remember feeling that way after holding my daughter's lifeless body in my
arms, and being told by the surgical intensive care staff that my wife
wouldn't live through the night. But, I've come to find out in the years
since, that there are indeed others who have had it worse than me.

There's a lot to be said for *compassion* for those who are hurting.


Luke 4:18
18	The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach
the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to *heal the brokenhearted*, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised,
(KJV)


John 11:33-35
33	When *Jesus* therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which
came with her, he *groaned in the spirit*, and was troubled,
34	And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35	Jesus *wept*.
(KJV)


Rom 12:15
15 ...weep with them that weep.
(KJV)
