Diet? A preacher friend of mine back in the early 60’s was asked to preach at a WTCU meeting. He looked out over the crowd and saw all those fat women and he ripped up his sermon and preached on temperance in all things, including eating. He was not invited back.<br /><br />Gypsy, if you are going to fear something, those are good ones to fear. I have to agree with you on all of them.<br /><br />Sixbears, I agree, it is the unknown that is the most fearfulDizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-7587843132900578972011-05-16T19:20:35.767-05:002011-05-16T19:20:35.767-05:00Fear?

That is known, means that the consequences of a worst case are also known, and generally are not as bad as the worrying or what they could be when it was unknown.<br /><br />At my point in my life, I think my greatest fear is no being able to meet commentments. In the past five years, I was twice unexpectedly unemployed, and learning that you may not make that next house payment is pretty scary. Even that though, was quickly tempered. We aren't especially attached to our home, it's only a house, and can be easily replaced including all the things in it if we lost it. If anything, it helped me learn not to have emotional attachments to physical things.Grant Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366349480592207557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-65556251559695321292011-05-16T09:11:17.439-05:002011-05-16T09:11:17.439-05:00Biggest fear?

I guess now, getting to "that age" being down sick and not being able to get help. <br /><br />I will tell this that I haven't told , when Ann died, for about a month I was terrified of being alone. I finally woke one morning and my mind had cleared and I realized that there was nothing I could do about it and to just get on with my life. ( I was just this close to becoming a hermit) <br />Of course soon as I hit "Post Comment", I'll think of something else.Ben in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068952818736489066noreply@blogger.com
