And with Visual FreePro I am placing Him first because of who He is. He gave me my abilities, and I return them to Him by returning them to each of you. I am using my talents in the manner He taught us to use them -- to help out each other (at least I am trying to do this to the best of my abilities ... I still struggle a lot because of the way this world operates, and I still fail a lot as a result of many factors, but it is my heart's desire, and it is through my faith that I act, and it is because of who Jesus is that I do this, and it is the way things will be forever when He returns -- I just want to get a head start :-)).

>>>>>>>>I do thank you for your input, John. Please know that I do realize what you state here is the limiting factor as to why other people haven't come on board, but that is also by design. I want people on the project who not only believe in Christ, but who also desire to put the fruit of their lives into an application of His teachings -- giving of themselves freely unto others that the many may benefit from their skills, as He has given them to each of us. I want men and women with such beliefs to be the ones who come forward to help, because it is that community I am fostering with the Village Freedom Project (which is software called Visual FreePro under development, but is more than that in philosophy). This is a movement away from the way we do business today. Instead of working for self, we are working for Christ, which means working for the betterment of each other.

The post was not addressed to you and hence it doesn't concern you. But more than this, if you feel insulted you should investigate why - the answer might reveal more about you than about Rick.
