The most important thing about me isn't about me at all. It's about God.
Though He is perfectly holy, and I had no hopes of being so, He loved me (and you!).
There had to be punishment for sin – justice had to be satisfied.
So God sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, who lived a sinless life Himself, and died to pay the penalty for sin.
Because of that sacrifice, I can be right with God.
And so can you … and so can anyone who will cease trusting in their own goodness -- but rather acknowledge that they have none, and trust in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice instead.
The less interesting things about me are:
I am the office manager for the church I attend and also have a small business re-binding books & Bibles.
I’m in the process of overcoming the horror of school gym classes, and learning to think of exercise as a “good thing” rather than an exercise in public humiliation.
I love being outdoors, particularly when Michigan allows a person to be outside without the danger of frostbite. (that would be “July”)
Trinka, my previous secretary and I are going to do this as a skit at our church's harvest supper and "talent show" in a couple of weeks. It's hilarious. Brian.

I think we have to be sensitive to the real people who deal with these issues. Their struggles can be overwhelming.
I don't think the video is making light of the struggles, but rather making light of those who minimize the struggles!
I have actually heard people give similar counsel (though cloaked in more socially-acceptable words)!
