To think because you have been “saved” that you are now sane is insanity. God doesn’t fix the mind. He only gives you opportunities to have moments of clarity. It is your job to climb the mountain and see above the clouds for yourself, not to believe the congregation's interpretation of the view.

This perceived need may stem from our family of origin, from how we learned to be heard when a simple “no” wasn’t enough.
