a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America
disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat.

-- President James Madison, 3rd U.S. President

5 signs of disfunction:
 
1. Don't communicate well; hearing but not listening.
2. Loved earned by performances.
3. Blame-shame syndrome.
4. Unhealthy competition.
5. Denial that there are difficulties.

"Thou would’st take much Pains to save thy Body: Take some, prithee, to save thy Soul"

--William Penn, Some Fruits of Solitude, 1693

who leave the choice with Him.
