Tom @ 1, the first time someone said the first phrase you mentioned within earshot, it jarred me. I come from a tradition that says: bible study fixes everything. But it was jarring in a good way.

Nice mention, quite apt.</i> +1 John, thanks for these posts. Tom @ 1, the first time someone said the first phrase you mentioned within earshot, it jarred me.
