I know Massachusetts law makes in impossible to know the mental and criminal histories of children up for adoption. I know a lot of families who have been destroyed by adopted kids. Thousands, as my history working with juvenile delinquents for nine years will attest to. They are not isolated incidents.

We seem to be loosing sight of "much prayer and fasting". Trusting God with the WHOLE mind, body and soul; and the neighbor as the self is THE prerequisite to the good works which "God has before ordained that we should walk in them".
To God-- be the Glory--great things He has done.
We suffer from misplaced glory. God is jealous of glory.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Bro. James
