THANK YOU!
Quote From: sanjuangalIt seems to me that Dan is "hiding" behind God's Will. I drank and did drugs for 8 years, many, many years ago - 30 in fact - and how easy it would be for me to say it was "God's Plan" for me.....NOT!! It was MY will and sickness that put me there and only by God's Grace did I make it through those days. He didn't wish for me to be a alcoholic anymore than he is "guiding" Dan. Baloney!! Dan is following Dan's will..............How on earth can ANYONE believe that operating a business that allows one to circumvent our laws by covering up license plates is someone who is being led by the LORD!! Those children certainly didn't look too happy when they were curled up under the covers without heat. I know some will say that's staged...........perhaps it was. That said, isn't it our responsibility as parents to provide for our children. It is too easy to just pick and choose scriptures that are convenient to justify our actions. Watching Dan and his children jumping up and down on the trampoline my first reaction was "how nice" a dad interacting with his kids - then a clearer picutre emerged................he was no more mature than his kids. He kept referring to his acrylic business back in the 80's and it seems to me that is where he is stuck. Really......no heat - no water - losing your home? How is that good parenting?? Tough times do indeed make us or break us and builds our character but I doubt that the children have the capacity to comprehend that what their parents are putting them through is character building!! There is something unsettling about this family...can almost see them hunkered down somewhere someday in the future armed to the teeth ..antisocial. SOMEONE WHO TRULLY GETS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!! It is not about whether or not God wants him to bus tables or drive taxi...... BUT, it is God's will that he take care of HIS family on HIS own!!
