I am somewhat regretful for having subjected my children to this culture clash which they faced in a non-LR Christian school. I did my best to help them counteract the pressure to think they were "better than" their classmates. To my recollection I always treated school staff as equals and that attitude may have rubbed off on my kids.



Having solidly received the Lord external to the so-called Recovery helped me to not buy into the boastful hype which was in the LR water supply.

So thankful to report that my whole family made it out of that mess with their brains intact.

Merry Christmas to all!

P.S.
