This past week I was a guest preacher at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Mankato; plus had parent-teacher conferences for Glen. So I haven't had time to post as much as I'd like.

I was so impressed with the chapter on grace, and there is much of your post here that reminds me of Bro. Robinson's sentiments.

But I'm right with you... As I've posted <A HREF="http://youngstranger.blogspot.com/2007/11/promiscuity.html" REL="nofollow">elsewhere</A>, it's taken me a while to find my moral bearings.
