Hi Carolyn,

lol.. no. I'm sorry... that was just a bit of my own residual frustration at all the labeling-by-aphabetical-letter-assignation. (is that a word? assignation? lol... only 1/2 cup of coffee today)

Anyhow, what really struck me hard last night is... so many letters, so many labels, so many defects and disorders...what ever happened to plain old fashioned "sin"? And why is that "label" so distasteful?

Love,
Carolyn

And why is that "label" so distasteful?

OK, now I see what you mean.

Well, I don't know the answer to that...can't figure out why the label  is so distasteful, for I've tasted SIN a bunch of times and it tasted quite good!    Waaaayyy better than GAD!     Next to SIN, GAD is my disorder of choice!

Hi, tt,


I don't understand.
I'm guessing that GAD is an anxiety disorder?

If so, that brings another question to mind... is worry sinful?

If whatsoever is not of faith is sin... then I guess so?

Yes, GAD stands for Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

On the SIN thing I was trying to create a little humor...

Seriously though, Carolyn, my healing so far has come entirely from wrestling with an omnipotent God.  Not comparing myself to Jacob, but can say that I have wrestled with God.

Me too, TT

He was there, always, with one footprint in the sand, along the stony path.  People trample down and dump. -- He alway lifts up.

Oh... okay, tt... it is beginning to sink in now 

And I can definitely relate to healing coming out of wrestling with almighty God... along with the limp which may follow.

Wrestling with God over my pride, my fear, my unforgiveness, and most recently - my closed-ness to physically participating with a fellowship of believers...  well, I am about wrestled out. I give.

Hi Carolyn,

is worry sinful?

I'm going to say yes for believers.

Edit in:  Second thought, that was a dumb answer.  A better answer would have been a simple, yes.
