Thank you to Amanda, Diane Chapman, and Michael Colunga for your wonderful posts on How to Deal.  I have a hard time trying to set boundaries with people.   I help people so much that they end up manipulating me and making me feel guilty.    I think some people are frustrated with their lives in some sort, or frustrated the Lord has not come back and they have put off some of their happiness to pursue holiness and thus are left without money, a job, their health, friends, etc. and are taking it out on others because they thought Jesus would have came by now.   I am trying to understand the balance of living a happy life without being consumed into the prosperity gospel....and the balance of living a holy life but still living somewhat so that I do not feel bitterness or angry at God.   Could one think they are living a holy life and not enjoy the life that God has given them so that they are angry with God and say to Him, I have given up everything to follow you and I am angry because I feel abandoned?   And to turn to fear and resentment?   I have been at both extremes, living however I want and enjoying all life has to offer and then being scared out of my mind to do anything for fear of being thrown into hell.   Maybe this is the walk for those who have sinned much in order to be balanced in life and thought.   I am still learning and want to be effective with people and not so emotionally charged.   I have yelled at this person and I just cannot do that anymore...it makes my insides sick.

Thank you to Rowina, Dianne Talsma, Patty Hayes discussing this complex issue with unions.   I cannot believe how different each state operates and the tremendous problems surrounding this.  And each of you wrote very, very detailed issues that I would have never dreamed of.   My mind is spinning and right now I keep having the feeling that while everyone is protesting, the government is going to come in and impart some sort of system throughout the United States.   All I keep thinking about is eventually they will tell you where you work, how much you make, what your job is.   I think all of this sounds good but will eventually be a form of a worse slavery.   I think the government is going to use this to their advantage.  

Thank you Robert Belanger for your response on the Rapture.   I like how you compared this earth to a dream world!   What a wonderful long letter.   I was not expecting that kind of response!
