OK Brother.

I guess I spoke too strongly. Perhaps the bottom line is that one shouldn't get the idea that you really are certain you are ready for the rigors of the real thing based on a short term mission trip. It takes more to steel you for real life than pretend life can offer. It takes a developed Christian character.

I thought you had gone to bed. Thanks for the feedback.
