A: When I was 25 or 30 years old, and still thought of myself as a Christian, I had a terrible temper. I did such things as kick holes in rented-house walls because something didn't go just right. I have since matured, and I have since abandoned any belief in Sky Daddies, Sky Mommies, Tooth Fairies, or other supernatural beings. I am a very even-tempered guy now: I have conquered my temper.
​
How did that happen, hmm?

Maybe you were attempting to do works for GOD instead of letting GOD
work through you............................ Personal relationships
are so very rewarding.
What are you rambling about? Your brother in law was "found" by God (whom I was always told kept pretty close tabs on people - He must have misplaced your b.i.l.) and I got shed of Him, and we both got more mature. Lots of folks mature as they get older. I don't think it's supernatural at all.
