Reverend Bruce,
I haven't yet been saved, and so I am still struggling. cut me a break and
please don't leave me behind because I have transgressed. Thank you so much.
There are just so many things in this world that I can't get used to. But I
try, with every breath I take. I do not want to sink beneath your wisdom
like a stone.
Blessings
