You:
Yes, Bro Tim, you are correct and have said more eloquently then I the same
statement.  Which was meant as a BIG AMEN.  So to both goes the AMEN, Bro
Fitz for being a man led of God and to Bro Tim for showing his eloquence.

Me:
1 Corinthians 1
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God
is stronger than men.

26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the
flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things
which are mighty;

28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God
chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

God doesn't have "much" use for eloquence.  ;-)  He has 'some' use for it,
but not much.  That is why He allows some of my "eccentricity" to remain:
That I can be eloquent when called on to be yet remain a "base, foolish
thing".  Also, with some of the things that happen to me, it would be very
easy to start thinking I was something more than a puff of dust raised by
the breath of God.  ;-)  I suffer much that I cannot even begin to explain
but it is all worth it and God is making me stronger and stronger.  It is
getting to the point that I despise everything that *I* am without Him.  I
try ever harder to crucify this and hold it to an open shame before all men.
Of course God has provided those who are more than willing to "help" in this
last area, but that only confirms the Love of God to me.  A big fool takes
more effort to kill than a small one, and I have been one of the biggest in
history.  ;-)  That is why God can and does use me, no one will get the idea
that it is me doing these things but they will remember what is said; that
which God will recall to their memory, anyway...  He does it all, I just go
along for the ride unto MY perfection in Christ.  ;-)
