Bible Note: EdB: Apology accepted. Thank you for the kind words. It is I who owe you an apology. I feel badly that I took offense when none was intended, then launched a counter-offensive against you. There is no excuse for my behavior; it's just that my writings have been mocked and ridiculed so often that I've become a bit gun shy. (Not unlike when I was in Vietnam and found myself with heightened alertness, listening for the least out of place sound that might indicate rockets or artillery being fired at us.) EdB, I do appreciate you. I never did take the position that I could only be friends with those who always agreed with me. If I did take that position, I would never have any friends. :-) I'm very impressed that you wrote so promptly to clear up our mutual misunderstanding. It's a relief to know that we're not on opposite sides. :-) Keep on reading, studying, and posting, Ed. Take care. -- Your brother, JVH0212 |
