I know Matthew and Luke well and have no need for additional guidance from Libertarians on this matter, even well-intentioned ones, but thank your for your suggestion and I shall give it careful consideration. On the more important issue, I have not sought to offer counsel Tex further, even though I have no doubt he is the one. I continue to monitor his website though, and alas still see in it the same anger, blackness, loneliness and bile that I first saw; and which first brought me here in a dream by mistake, although perhaps it was not a mistake in hindsight, as God may well have wanted me as his prophet and servant to proclaim His Word here too; but I know that sometimes it takes time and that when all around it is dark, some, and Tex may well be one, become comfortable with the dark, or find a certain protective numbness in it, at least until the loneliness and despair gets too great, and only then will they come to the light, or at least be open to hearing the Truth. But I know at the same time that Tex is in good hands for God has said that He is watching over him, and keeping him away from the sharpest rocks, even as he paddles against the current in a dangerous stream. No man is an island, and I have no doubt Tex will in time join the mainstream again. I stand ready to help in a direct sense when the time is right. Until then, I am keeping him in my thoughts and prayers, as well all are. There is no shame in neediness; we have all felt needy from time to time; but God offers hope when all around it is black. I still remember the blackness of that first dream that brought me here and then to Tex. It was a very dark shade of black. On the one hand this can mean that a conversion can happen quickly, for the despair is so great. But on the other, it can mean that the light at the end of the tunnel seems even further away, and that it seems hopeless to even try. But I stand willing to bear testament to the value and joy and love that can encircle those who are willing to reach out and take hold of God's hand, and walk, like a child, in God's light.
