He knows WHY we make the decisions that we do and I truly believe he will be more merciful, yet just, than we can ever imagine.Thoughtfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856239952722802782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847440472042684174.post-64483989731730849892010-08-10T17:47:44.421-07:002010-08-10T17:47:44.421-07:00Anthony, thanks for the additional strong evidence...Anthony, thanks for the additional strong evidence in support of the conclusion. <br /><br />The che, thanks for your response.
