OT. Prayers needed

[johnmh71]

Scott:

I don't know you outside of a few transactions on BST, but I'm going to make a couple of suggestions. First stop with all the "need prayers" nonsense. Nobody is going to provide you a greater blessing than yourself. Second, Vince Lombardi used to say that a true measure of someone is whether they make the most of what they have. So take what little you have and make the most of it. Then build on it. That is the best advice I can give for someone in your situation. Remember that you are only a failure once you decide to quit trying.

well said everyone, but its just awful hard right now.

I'll pray for the GrayGhost. Why not? I like his scary name. I'll even dust off the ol' Ouija Board and see if I can get connected to Jesus Himself. I'm due for a supernatural chat session, as I haven't contacted the dead since my famous Toad Ramsey seance a couple years ago.

Scott,

Also do not know you, but offer this:

1) Find an appropriate 12 step group (God knows there are enough different ones around today) and work the program

NO MATTER WHAT:

2) Take actions aligned with your integrity (presume lying and a couple of other things your alluded to in your posts are personal integrity violations for yourself - you lied, but do not want to live as a liar)

3) Take actions in the direction of what you believe to be right and what you want.

4) Put the outcome of any of those actions in God's hands

Fully believe prayers and support help, but also believe that God helps those who help themselves. The actions are ours to take, the outcomes are God's to make. God doesn't do it for us, he does it with us.

The foregoing statements are entirely my belief and opinion and not intended to offend anyone if you believe differently.

WHaT Does "db" Stand for?

I'm not an expert on your problems (or much anything else) and you've probably received this advice many times in the past. It sounds like you need temporary homeless shelter and, assuming you're not physically disabled, gainful employment. If you've not tapped out family and friends, maybe temporary financial assistance is available. You've got to rebuild your life one step at a time. Maybe after a couple months work you would be in a position to rent a room. It seems to me that the last thing you need to be concerned with is dealing baseball cards.

Hey Scott,

I have met and chatted with you at the Mansfield Flea Market here in CT on a few occasions.. I have enjoyed talking with you and have admired your knowledge within the hobby. Head up my man, prayers sent..
