Apology accepted Rob. We all really do understand everyone's frustrations, but we started to feel like we were getting persecuted for trying to be positive. It was really harsh for a few days, but thankfully the worst seems to be over. Please stick around and enjoy your stay. We really are a nice bunch of people once you get to know us.

Hey guys! Just wanted to say that not all *church* people are like that - hypocritical, I mean. I used to think right after I became a born-again Christian, I had to try to be as perfect as I could. I quickly found out that's not the way to walk out your Christian life at all! God is so loving, forgiving, merciful, with such grace for situations where we are not very "Christian-like", in other words, we are supposed to aspire to act as Jesus did, but no one but Jesus is perfect and without sin. So when we fall, and we surely will, God is right there to forgive us! God's already forgiven Scott, and everyone else should as well. He is just human, messes up sometimes (and given what has happened to him this year alone, I don't know how he's managed other than alot of prayers for strength, and by God's grace). Scott has great faith, and God will carry him and the whole Stapp family through this valley they are in. PEACE
