Good People

The truth is that good people are hard to find. The further truth is that good people are impossible to find.

And Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? None is good except One, God.
(Luk 18:19)

Let me give you my list of proofs for the week:

1. I have used a printing company called 48 Hour Print (www.48hourprint.com) to print numerous, to numerous to list, publications. They used to do a pretty good job; however the last job (and the second from the last) was screwed up. I ordered the print job on March 1st because I needed it on the 8th for a show.

When I hadn’t received them on March 6th, I called and talked to a man who apologized. He said that he didn’t know why the job wasn’t printed yet because it was all ready. I should note that the place is called 48 Hour Print because they guarantee a 48 hour turn time. He promised me that they’d print the job that day and send it next day air on the 7th. I’d get it on the 8th. When I asked for his name so that I could talk to him in the future, he said that I could talk to any

So, it wasn’t here on the 8th. I called and talked to Laura at 48 Hour Print who told me the job hadn’t been printed (again…no reason), and that she had no evidence that I had even talked to someone on March 6th. She told me that the earliest I could get the printing was on March 13, after the show was over.

I’d be more than happy to post a response from 48 Hour Print; however, an apology is unacceptable. The job needed to be done, and the lies ensured that I didn’t make alternative plans. I guess at this point, everyone should know that this company lies to you, makes promises they don’t intend to keep, and dealing with them can seriously sabotage your business.

2. The following is a news article regarding a Christian Counseling center that our church has been distantly associated with.

March 7, 2006 - 6:25PM KALAMAZOO (NEWS 3) – New allegations are being levied against a Kalamazoo marriage counselor.

Steven Roskamp had his state license suspended in January after admitting having sexual contact with a patient during therapy sessions. Now, a second complaint has been filed against Roskamp, who worked at Desert Streams Christian Counseling. The new complaint, obtained by News 3 through a Freedom of Information request, outlines alleged relationships Roskamp had with two married women. Relationships that the state says amount to "negligence" and "incompetence."

Roskamp worked at Desert Streams for 14 years. He was fired last year after what the clinic's president calls "serious ethical and moral violations." In a statement, Doctor David Wagner says, "That one of our employees chose to disregard and violate all that Desert Streams stands for, grieves us deeply." Desert Streams notified the state and, in January, authorities suspended Roskamp's license.

The complaint says that between 2002 and 2004, Roskamp had sexual contact with a client. That they would "lie on top of each other" and that he would touch her, saying that he did so to "bring the strength of God as a male to female." A state investigator says the woman alleges that Roskamp also touched her more intimately.

Count two, filed recently, involves a second woman. The complaint says the client had a dual relationship with Roskamp - social and professional. The client admitted developing intimate feelings for the counselor and that Roskamp did not refer the client to another therapist. Sessions continued in which the therapist asked the alleged victim questions about her sex life and he suggested ways she could make herself more inviting.

Roskamp's license has been suspended temporarily. A state panel still must decide whether to revoke his license permanently.


A strong grasp of the total depravity of man is essential to understanding life. Without the work of the Holy Spirit in suppressing our sinfulness, we can do nothing but sin.
Thank God for His provision, and Christ’s righteousness.
