Good Morning,
I've shaken hands with others here on NOSTR. Maybe 10 sets of hands. We've had face to face discussions. Those hands have shaken others hands and it's a ten times ten times ten situation. Imagine a secret society where in order to join all you had to do was work.
Are you working anyway? Are you're not used to working for yourself or on yourself? I can't even pretend not to be grateful for this medium. I've seen most of the progress of discussion from bulletin boards, ICQ, email, telephone, calls for fire, and then the social constraints and walled gardens. As AT&T used to advertise, Reach out and touch someone.
I pray that in my selfishness desiring connection that I might take the time to touch the hem of the garment of Jesus which is the Gospel. I am grateful that others have taken the time in their joy to show me where the hem was. The hem is here between the two of us.

Mark 6:56 KJV “And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.”

Psalm 32
Psalm 32 KJV “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
6. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
9. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
10. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
11. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.”

Every day we have quotes from men who are claimed to be holy, well respected, rich or wise. They don't know anything. They are trying to guide you to hell so they will not be lonely.
If a man's words lead you to the Gospel then they have merit but if the man's words lead you away from the Gospel then they are wicked.

4. Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
5. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
