The devil works.
Was it the devil? God is greater.
Think about it.
KB, so hard. i will be praying for you.
as a young one, 16-33, i had to accept a few very close losses, one was called a suicide. even now, i cannot fully believe it. no other answers, tho. when so young, there is no “filter” for pain, it goes straight to the heart, and crushes. as i’ve (aged) i more readily turn straight to seek God’s will, to seek acceptance when understanding does not seem possible.
praying for you. and all touched by these harsh losses.

george, will you explain more? i will read again a bit later.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not after you.

He is greater, of course. But the devil is active and lurking- consuming whom he may.
I'd definitely say it was the devil... Suicide isn't of God.
Just because it is not of God doesn't necessarily equate with being originated by the devil. If you would like to discuss it more in depth I would be willing, but in another thread. It seems others are interested too.

Did not grow up with one.

I cooked 4 frozen chicken breasts in 20 minutes. Cleaned and sectioned russet potatoes. Cooked the potatoes with a can of cream of chicken soup and 2 cups water. Potatoes cooked in about 20 minutes. Added 2 chopped chicken breasts and a can of carrots because I did not have any raw. Cooked for an additional 10 minutes.

Was good, but needed a little more flavor. Will add more seasoning next time, but boys liked it. Not enough left for the wife to try after we ate, so it must have been good.
