		<description>Doctor,

Please don&#039;t assume that you only have a few readers, based on the number of posted comments being few.   

I for one, am not much of a commenter on blog sites - however, I am one of those anonymous readers who happens to cherish your site and your writings.   Of course I have no way of knowing one way or another, but I think I am not alone. 

Please keep up the good work.   The more the better.   And may God bless you.

		<description>Doc, I have faced the same struggles you wrote about, a few years ago:  too little time for blogging and reading blogs, if I&#039;m going to get anything done!  I have not put my head down to slink away; I just don&#039;t get here very often...and believe me when I say this, that is my great loss.

The struggles you&#039;ve written about in this post are largely, if not entirely, what Paul wrote about in Romans 7:  &quot;I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do (v. 15)&quot; and &quot;For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out (18b).&quot; And so on.  Thank God that &quot;There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus...&quot; (8:1)! 

I&#039;m thinking, without having had time to ponder it, that when we first accept our need for a Savior and turn over our lives to Him, we receive all the power of God--the same power of God that brought Jesus out of the grave, defeating death forever--but, my gosh!  We&#039;re totally unprepared for this power and have no idea how to appropriate it in our daily lives!

I&#039;m at risk of writing a blog post, right here, so I&#039;ll stop and just say thank you for doing your usual find job of digging deep and describing and defining what you find, what you have found. God bless you, good sir!</description>
