Hi Brother Dave,

Thanks for your service soldier! Were you a Born Again believer during your SE Asian experience? What impact did the war, or your status have upon your conduct during the war? Did you bear the MOS of an infantryman, or were you in the rear with the gear, so to speak??

The chapter you choose to quote makes me wonder what heresies and apostasy you find most egregious to the body of Jesus Christ? On Five Doves? 

“But there
 were false prophets also among the
people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that brought
them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”

Have you ever read the second best selling book of all-time after the Holy Bible; The Imitation of Christ by Thomas of Kempis? It's basically a daily prayer manuel/devotional a monk who authored before the Reformation when large numbers of unhappy rich people joined holy orders that were exclusively devoted to prayer and set apart and holy living. It might help you expand worship to every act you undertake each day.

BTW, I'm going to abandon my normal pursuits to adopt a modern 'sackcloth and ashes' lifestyle. If you would enjoy mutual support, e-mail me Brother Dave
