Bible Note: Hi yourself, Bubba John! My heart problem is more stable, thankfully, though my heart is not yet very strong -- but my spirit is. I've not lost one micron of distance in my walk with the Sovereign Lord or one iota of awe for His precious word. When someone -- anyone -- hints that I don't love and revere and accept God's word as my sole and final authority and guide for my faith and practice, I can get rather peppery, as you know! And I know that you too, John, hold God's word in the highest esteem possible. Grace and good wishes, my Christian friend and brother. --Hank |
