His character is to redeem our choices when they lead us astray, so that when Moses pulls the wrong lever, or the Israelites want a king... well, the plan might alter to include someone named Jesus.<BR/><BR/>i don't mean to be a dickhead here jeff, but you haven't lived through enough to make an informed comment on this topic. (neither have i for that matter.) your thoughts are, yes, confused, and maybe it would serve your blog better to throw these things out as questions. <BR/><BR/>but at least we'll have something to chat about over lamb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
