A daily adventure with God, filled with mentoring, training, loving interaction with others, and no gloom and doom or resentment of the types of fake authority never taught by Jesus.<br /><br />The rip tide nearly wrecked me, but I'm so thankful that God had something better in mind for me, as He now helps me shoot the curl of a ten footer.<br /><br />BB<br />Byker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-53551189662373635512012-10-20T08:11:21.925-07:002012-10-20T08:11:21.925-07:00The land of Armstrongism is a land of sociopaths.The land of Armstrongism is a <a href="http://hwarmstrong.com/wordpress/2012/10/19/brilliant/" rel="nofollow">land of sociopaths</a>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-19954771011872437872012-10-20T07:56:40.660-07:002012-10-20T07:56:40.660-07:00The problem with WCG was that the vast majority of...The problem with WCG was that the vast majority of people were following the man. As he flip flopped on issues, they flip flopped too, back and forth, never using their gray matter, but simply doing as some guy told them.<br /><br />That is confusion, and a lot of people were hurt by it. Many of those same people are now very bitter about the whole experience (and I can understand that).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-74725878171406612682012-10-19T23:19:57.703-07:002012-10-19T23:19:57.703-07:00This blog has been great.

I've experienced the currents on those Californian beaches and I almost got knocked off my feet by a wave and undertow on Kaanapali Beach a few years back. <br /><br />I go to this site at least once a day, often two or more times. It's one of my musts. Good job!Allen C. Dexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06615706118359802452noreply@blogger.com
