Jennifer,

“Cheryl, God has used women many times when men might not listen:”

This says to me that God does not limit himself to only using people and resources that are easily accepted.  That means that man cannot limit God or force him to do as man pleases.  Praise God for that.

The blind ones will never see, they want authority more than servanthood, but the wise will listen.

My prayer is that God will help me to find the wise and to walk away from those who will not listen.  My persistence has been good and bad.  It is bad when persistence keeps me knocking on a door that has slammed shut in my face when there are open doors that I am not seeing because of my persistent knock.

Don,

You are a wise man.  I believe that God has used your method to teach many that it is possible to have our speech seasoned with salt so that we can be gentle and not angry with those who are in opposition.  This is the safe environment that those who have an open heart need so that they can let down the external barriers and have the opportunity to change their mind without fear of ridicule or contempt.
