@nursenurse very good advice - thank you. Actually - this may be the first relationship I've been in ever that seems to be automatically set up to go slowly .... It's going so well being close friends I don't want to change anything right now:)

@jd9900 - you've brought up the topic that Sunday schools around the Christian world go over so typically - "meek" (btw - I am not a biblical scholar - I never GO to church any more - but I mull it all over a lot) So when you say: Consider another scripture if you don't mind..... Psalm 147:6...

I don't know what kind of spirituality you like - if at all - but your post brings to mind "the meek shall inherit the earth" from Jesus' Sermon on the mount - I think. A time when he sat down and spelled out what the changes the newTestament would bring to people who had been following the Old...

@jd9900 I like how you write and appreciate your insight - I'll be reading your reply a few more times to absorb it:)
