      I feel sorry for those folks. The GOD I follow says follow me for my burden is light. And being a Christian for ten years I would have to say his burden is very light. I have inner peace that is not worldly but Godly. Sure I still have bad days but the peace that passes all understanding is always there. Praise be unto GOD. Comments?
