I found Hans! It wasn't easy, took some "very lucky" timing, but I got him! He I sent a email to your place of business and Chuckles' also. ROR's link's not working. Hans wants to reconnect with everybody. BTW, I also am in contact with Marguerite also, via the Way Corps site. I hope to hear from you soon.

David may have married and moved to Oregon, I heard.

They were in Redding CA back when. Anybody know how to contact them now?

Hap-py birthday, buddy. You are wonderful.

The cat made it just fine. We are still settling in here in Anderson, CA, just south of Redding, with my sister and father but things are going to be just fine here. Hey Mark, we'll havta get together. Thanks again.

I am here safe n sound, the dogs are good, the living situation here is really good. This is gonna work. Thank everybody for their prayers. I think I have turned a corner. HAP was a true champion for me, helping load the truck, giving me gas money, and so much more. Thanks so much HAP.

Hey Dave! Ron here. I have no idea about Susan or the others. Good to "hear" you're still around.

Some friends of mine would like to reconnect with them.

We will find out... "then we will know as also we are known".

I'll be moving around the first of December, hope to get a fresh start there with family. Is there "anyone" near there?

Wow. Days of Future Passed was the very first record I bought, and I wore it out on my very cheap record player. I still love them.

Cool CW. Song, I was TWI'd from '75 to when they started kicking people out who agreed with John Shoenheit's letter. I put my heart into it, went WOW four times, no Corps (thank GOD!), though I would've dug College Division, ran a fellowship of 40 people, etc. The ministry falling apart was traumatic for me, but looking back now, it was rancid at the top and deserved to die (it still does).

I was just editing my original post in "Am I the problem?", and replying to Song, and the thread disappeared again! --> --> Prb a software glitch in the forum program.

Thanks song and CW. I finally contacted a person at Soc. Services, she gave me some hope how things may work out. BTW, CW, what's with the subliminal skull(?) on your graphic?

Hey guys n gals. I am not kewl. I told God I would not take "the easy way out", because Jesus didn't cop out on me. My situation is still horrible, though thanks to a GSer, there is a glimmer of hope. There are times I am just non-functional with depression n the stroke effects, but I have to work. I'm thinking of applying for Soc. Sec. Disability, but that will be a long, tedious road. I feel just overwhelmed by everything. I feel I can still do God some good by sticking around and praying, if nothing else. Plus, my cashier job gives me the opportunity to brighten people's lives a little bit during the time I have with them, though it does not pay enough to pay the bills. I know that God works with you whatever your profession/occupation to teach you. During a "good time", I pictured myself as working at "God's Store", helping people to find and obtain the things they need. I realized I was pretty "bold" in offering store programs I knew were good for them, and pictured myself helping someone with the Word just as boldly and efficiently (which I have not done in a long time). A bit later that night, a guy comes in, and I say "Hi, can I help you find what you need?" He replies, "I'm not even sure where to start with my life." I reply" How about making Jesus Christ you Lord", (after looking around for managers n other customers). The guy smiled and replied "Wow, no kidding, that's just where I need to get to". Then a customer came to my register, and I lost track of the guy. But it seemed that God was working to bless me and others through me. I am seeking pro help, Song, thanks. I have been down this road before, though not as drastically as this time. I am taking it a day at a time.

First, thanks to you all who responded here and in the related thread. Second, thanks to Paw for rescuing this thread from cybespace limbo. The reason I posted here is because I am struggling with a doctrinal issue... what does it take to get help from God? I pray constantly, in that I constantly talk to Him. I just don't understand why I am so constant "attacked" with seemingly no help from above. It pains me to post this, because I love God and do not want to publicly demean Him in any way. I'm hoping for some insight.

C'mon guys, you hate me or something? Let my posts through.

Hey Dan, that was me that posted. I spose the thread got caught up in housecleaning or something. Thank you for your wonderful heart and support, as well as the others who posted before the thread vanished into cybespace. :)--> I do have some great friends available to me here in Denver, for which I am thankful. The reason I posted in Doctrinal was because I often wonder where God is in all that has gone wrong/happened to me the past five years. I suppose it goes back to "is it me?"... is He unable to due to my unbelief or something, is it on me to "do the formula". I know I am not the only one who wonders about this. I am seeking insight and conversation around this. Thanks again.

The last five years have been hell for me, a constant parade of things that devastate emotinally, financally, professionally, every which way. I have not handeled it well, getting angry with God, drinking, etc. The lastest round I am handling "better", praying, thinking the Word some, though l don't buy the name it n claim it anymore. I know my bad decisions have led to some of my situations, but some, like a debilitating stroke, etc. just happened. I don't have a problem with that, bad things happen betimes. The thing is, I don't seem to be getting any help from on high, just endless "attacks". I am wondering if my wondering why I'm not getting any help is why I am not getting any help. Thoughts?
