Also, (and this ought to jack up some

faith is pretty strong and I like to operate out of these verses from
the Bible: James 2:14 What good is it, my friends, if a man claims to
have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a
brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says
to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing
about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by
itself if it is not accompanied by action is dead. " My pastor and I
have had some "conversation" about those verses and my interpretation of
them and I know that they are taken out of context and i don't much care
but it's what I hang my hat on. It's what my mom, who had nothing,
taught me to do. And let me make abundantly clear that I know that
Christians don't have a lock on being do-gooders. :-) And don't think
for a minute that I hold myself to be a stellar example of Christianity;
I'm too much of a snot for that. grin
