Not my thing, but how about the freedom to participate or not?

Brief Thanksgiving Paraphrased Bullets

• Female friend (to me): Don't you care if people like you? I wish I was like you.

• Her husband: He doesn't care. 

• Me: I have prayed much and studied much on several issues. If someone shows me I am wrong, I will repent. But often I believe the Lord has led me to believe and state what is right.

All is fine, my swelling is in decline. There is an obvious change for the better with the jaw line and related issues. I have to wear a contour brace OFF work hours at home for two months. I would not be caught dead in public with it (at work/church etc.)..other than now leaving the surgeon's office.
