Galations 1:16

I was reading just awhile ago in my bible and a key phrase that Paul said got my attention, and before I forget I want to put it here so I can build an outline for it later.
After Paul got saved and submitted to the call to preach he said," I conferred not with flesh and blood."
I am building upon the title of, NO EXCUSES.
Paul did not let nothing hinder what God had in store for him. NO EXCUSES!

Basically to consult with, or to discuss, It is what we do when we question authority.

paul had the thorn on his side right?

sometimes i think this stomach problem of mine is my thorn.

when i was lost i had no conscience for the things i'd done. i felt no guilt, but now when i know i have done something wrong and i feel bad about it, my stomach turns. it hurts.

I've seen doctors about it and they tell me "sorry i cant figure out whats wrong with you". I've prayed to have it go away and it does for awhile but it comes back. I deal with it now.

Sometimes I think the pain is there because of all the whiskey drinking I did back in the day. It tore up my insides. Especially the vomitting the day after.

It's a scar I wont forget of the mistakes i've made.

or it could be a worm.

i pray its not a worm, i feel so much guilt about the whole drinking thing, I remember that was all we did when you came over to visit and of course the bbq hooters,
I pray you get better Brother.
