Bible Note: You must know that atheist I'm dealing with! ;-) Thank you so very much. Your answer was extremely helpful. I am not educated in the ways of trickery, nor do I want to be, but sometimes it pays to be, doesn't it? Ah! this scripture just came to mind: "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." Again, thank you! God bless you, too, as you do the Lord's work! |
