As I said, God's plan is that both parties involved in the relationship love and serve Him. That is why the 2 Corinthians 6 says "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" Choosing the right mate from the beginning is so important! Reaping the consequences of a decision we make is very difficult. I will do another blog soon on "What To Do If You're In an Unbalanced Relationship." The first thing I would recommend for you and your mate is to get to an AA class for him and an ALNON class for you. If the relationship is worth anything to him, he will agree. me…you are correct.

]]> Comment on What can we learn from Nebo’s death? by Mike Parker http://hurtroad.com/2011/07/what-can-we-learn-from-nebos-death/#comment-326 Mike Parker Thu, 07 Jul 2011 18:42:44 +0000 http://hurtroad.com/?p=1228#comment-326 Cindy, Thanks for your comment. To be fair, your disagreement is with only part of the sentence, and if you continue to read the remainder of the sentence, you see that I acknowledge that it "sure seems that they are" part of the family. The grief my family feels over the loss of a long-time friend is very real. I am not denying the attachment that many have with their pets. There is a real danger with placing the value of animals on the same level as the value of humans. I too love animals. They are a beautiful part of the creation and should be valued; however, from the very beginning God placed man and woman over the creation to rule as king and queen over all He had created. One of the ploys of Satan is that he came to Eve as a serpent (a beast of the field) and convinced her that she should submit to the words of the very thing that God Himself told the man and woman to rule over. I see your point about companionship, which is very important, humans need interaction, even if it is with the created beast. But, the point of the whole blog was that we become so involved with our lives that we lose sight of the fact that life itself is fleeting and there is no time to wait to prepare for eternity. The point of whether animals are part of our family is minimal. My family will miss Nebo, but the more tragic concern is that there are people dying to spend eternity seperated from God. Cindy,
