Who is the Holy Spirit?
(click
here)
R.A.
Torrey,
a close associate of D.L
Moody, was stopped by a friend on his way to a
convention, who said: "I
see you are to speak on the baptism of the Holy
Spirit. Tell the people not to pray for the Holy
Spirit."
Torrey replied: "I
shall certainly not tell them that, for Jesus said":
"How
much more shall your Heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to them that ask Him." (Luke 11:
13)
Did
miracles, healings and the gifts of the Holy Spirit
cease with the apostles?
·
Dr. R.A. Torrey, former Pastor of
Moody Memorial church in Chicago, IL USA, wrote in 'What
the Bible Teaches', "The Baptism with the
Holy Spirit is an operation of the Holy Spirit that
is distinct from and subsequent and additional to
His regenerating work: An impartation of
power, and the one who receives it is fitted for
service, not merely for the apostles, not merely for
those of the 'Apostolic Age', but for all
that are afar off, every believer, in every age of
the Church's history.
2 Timothy 3:5 says, " in the last days [of the
age we live in] there will be Christians who have a
form of Godliness, but denying its
power." Are you like many of today's
Christians who look at the traditional churches as
being the traditional, cold, denominations, but who
never stop and wonder if many conservative,
evangelical churches are in the same category?
Speaking to the churches at
the end of the age we live in, Jesus said in
Revelation 3:15, 16, I know your deeds, that
you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either
one or the other!
So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor
cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
In the early church, the
Good news about the Lord Jesus Christ and His words
were preached and taught and the hand of God [the
Holy Spirit] often confirmed their words with the
power of signs, miracles and wonders. What is the
'hand of God?' What was the Power of God
[Lord] that enabled Jesus, the Apostles and many
disciples throughout church history even today to
see miracles of healing when they testify, preach
and teach about the risen Chris Jesus? The power of
the Holy Spirit.
Luke 4:14 14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the
power of the Spirit, and news about him spread
through the whole countryside.
Luke
5:17
One
day as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of
the law, who had come from every
village
of
Galilee
and from
Judea
and
Jerusalem
, were sitting there.
And the Power of the Lord was present for him to
heal the sick.
Romans 15:19 is one of the verses that tells us
how ministries saw miracles in early church history:
" by
the power of signs and miracles, through the power
of the Spirit. " So from
Jerusalem
all the way around to
Illyricum
, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
Rick says, "the Power of
the Spirit to bring healing through today's
disciples of Jesus, the Christ, is closely
associated with a disciple's closeness to, and being
in step with the Holy Spirit."
Much teaching of the truth
of the Bible and fruitful ministry occurs in
Bible- believing churches who are keeping the
witness and ministry of Christ alive today. Yet, we
are living in a end time when the power of Satan and
the digression in use of some elements of the media
are turning hundreds of millions of people to the
dark side.
If there was ever a time we
need to be filled with the Holy Spirit with His
power to stand against these dark side forces,
it is now. Many of our church programs are
excellent, but what about our outreach to bring
souls to the Lord? How many people in the secular
world are attending church? How many people
are we bringing to Christ and into our churches?
Rick has adopted a
new soul-winning plan that is short, simple and made
to order for reaching secular people who are being
swept along by this fast-paced modern world we live
in. Nothing you have ever seen or experienced is
like this plan; even children are learning this easy
plan and are actually leading adults, as well as
other children to the Lord. It is amazing.
Booking Rick for
meetings can bring his teaching of this simplest of
all plans to your group or church.
Would you rather be a part
of this great end time move and see great revival
and hundreds or thousands in your area coming to
Christ, or be a part of a cold traditional outlook,
and be as dry as last years bird nest. Do you want
to be numbered amongst those who live in unbelief in
the words of Jesus and suppress the supernatural
signs of the risen Christ.
Rick says, I am no
one's judge, nor am I hyper- critical. I do
observe different practices In our worship services,
and many churches don't mean this type of worship
service to happen, but pseudo- entertainment styles
often replace worship that should be filled with the
presence of the Spirit -- His guidance, and power.
This happens in thousands of churches in the USA.
and around the world. Isn't it time to allow the
Holy Spirit His rightful place in the church?
Think of how much more
could be accomplished if people were seeking to be
'filled with the Spirit.' I have attended
services in many churches, and notice great
difference in the practice of reverence.
Although spiritually born again people are the true
sanctuaries of Christ, we do meet in a
facility that we term the sanctuary. The churches
where people enter their meeting sanctuary and
maintain reverence and even pray at the altar before
the service begins usually see the power of the Holy
Spirit in the worship service.
The Bible says in Matthew
18:20 " For where two or three come together in
my name, there am I with them."
Jesus is truly there in the sanctuary where we are
gathered, but are we in awe of His presence? Are we
reverent? Or doesn't he who created the universe and
all it contains really matter to us? Was His
horrible pain and suffering on the Cross to take
away our sins and bring us into an eternal
reconciliation with God the father all that
important to us.
I ask myself these same
questions nearly every day in my life. I'm not a
Catholic, however, I will tell you this, one thing
Catholics practice in their churches and convents is
reverence for the Lord. Many protestant
churches are also instituting more reverence in
their sanctuary or meeting place.
So much for things I have observed,
and think about, says Rick Lawrence.
I have noted the churches who have turned to a more
reverent atmosphere in their sanctuary, and are
truly seeking to worship in Spirit and in truth
outlined in the Bible are the ones seeing
unusual, supernatural happenings, healings and many
answers to prayer.
People in the secular world
are flocking to these churches wanting to experience
the dynamic presence of the Lord.
Heb. 13:8 "Jesus
Christ the same yesterday, today and forever."
The Bible says Jesus is still doing today what he
did in the past.

Baptism
in the Holy Spirit is a work of the Holy Spirit
subsequent to a believer's salvation experience of
accepting Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord
of his or her life.
The
Holy
Spirit is at work in all spiritually
born again Christians,
whether they have
subsequently
been baptized in the Holy
Spirit
beyond their salvation experience or not.
God uses
all of these believers -- some dynamically.
In the Bible's New Testament,
in
every verse that speaks about people receiving this
special work of the Holy
Spirit the evidence they were Baptized in the
Holy Spirit was that they experienced glossolalia [Greek].
In other words, they spoke in a supernatural,
unknown language or tongue
which was to be a personal prayer
language for each spiritually born again believer.
The
Baptism
in the Holy Spirit
is a
supernatural,
experience given
by Jesus Christ to every true believer who desires
the experience, which brings the believer
into
the 'miracle'
power side
of the
Spirit-filled life.
Whereas
the basic purpose of Spirit baptism is power for
ministry and service, People who seek and receive
the Baptism in the Holy Spirit speak of a number of
effects.
You
will note that in John:22 it speaks of Jesus
breathing on the 12 disciples in effect baptizing
them into the body of Christ. "And
with that he breathed on them and said,
"Receive the Holy Spirit."
We
find in Acts 2:8 the
twelve plus numerous other disciples who are
subsequently Baptized in the Holy Spirit in an act
of preparation for these disciples to take the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations of the world.
Since
it is the Holy Spirit who is given (not something he
gives),
many
persons who receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
speak primarily of a
strong sense of the reality of God, the Holy Spirit
dynamically present, bearing witness to Jesus Christ
and glorifying the Father.
There is
testimony to an enhanced sense of the Scriptures as
the written Word of God, since the same Holy Spirit
who inspired them fully is now said to be moving
freely in the lives of the believers.
Many spiritually
born again people who seek and receive the Baptism
in the Holy Spirit testify to an abounding joy, a
deeper assurance of salvation, a new boldness for
witness to Jesus Christ, and an enriched fellowship
with other Christians.
On this last point, one of the most
noticeable features of the charismatic renewal is
the sense of 'koinonia' [Greek word for fellowship]
that binds them together not only in a local
fellowship but also across ancient denominational
barriers. Accordingly, many claim that the
charismatic renewal movement is the true fulfillment
of the Lord's prayer to the Father "that they
may all be one" (John
17:21
).

Article VI of the Constitution specifically
forbids any "religious test" for public
office, and the First Amendment provides a legal
guarantee for the free exercise of religion as well
as the non-establishment of any one group as America
's established religion. One of the great hallmarks
of American life is its emphasis on religious
freedom and religious liberty.
Church and state may be separate entities in the
United States
, but faith and politics have become
inseparable. "This
is basically a very religious nation, people have
very intense feelings here about religion,"
said Carroll Doherty, associate director at the
Pew
Research
Center
."It is unlikely that a nonreligious person
would be elected president," he said This
distinguishes the
United States
from most of the developed world.

During the Middle Ages Earth was
thought to be flat
That view was held so
fanatically that some scientists living then were
threatened with death if they supported any other
theory. Yet, the Prophet Isaiah writing in 740 BC,
hundreds of years earlier, referred to the earth as
"circular" (Isa.40:22). He, God,
sits enthroned above the
circle of the
earth...."
Isaiah could only have known this truth by the Holy
Spirit's impartation of this knowledge to him.
Only
in the last decades via sonar
was
it discovered that there are Valleys or pathways
in the oceans and seas. Centuries before Christ,
Psalm 8:8 spoke of "pathways of the seas."

Rick says, "
Bashing,
or mocking other Faiths,
even
Atheists is wrong and counterproductive.
We
may have different points of view but courtesy directs
us to be respectful. This may be difficult when faced
with militancy, but you cannot force a person to
believe differently by trying to make a fool of,
insulting and/or mocking him or her."
" Understanding
and diplomacy are tools used the world over to find
paths to peace and harmony.
Talking
respectfully to or about people of other faiths is key
to building reasonable harmony. Someone of a different
belief, or no belief, may insult you, but if you
insult them, it is doubtful they will want to hear
what you have to say about Jesus Christ.
The
Word of
God, the Bible, is sufficient by the Holy
Spirit of God to help, guide and instruct a
spiritually born again believer to defend the
'Christian faith.' The Bible says to study to show
yourself approved [capable] of defending and teaching
the Word of God.
" Bashing
people and their beliefs will do much more damage to
your credibility with other faiths than all of
the good works you might accomplish in attracting
people to consider what you preach and teach about
your own Faith."

Included

differences, dealing with

----------------------------------------------
Q: Aren't all the world religions basically the same,
e.g., when you get down to their core beliefs,
don't they all lead to heaven? So, why should it
matter which religion you follow?
A: Although many world religions have some basic
moral good, there is a huge difference between them
and Bible Christianity: 1) Christianity is based on a
person's relationship with God and Jesus Christ. There
is no working or striving for the reward of getting
into heaven. Salvation [eternal life] is God's gift to
the people of planet earth -- to anyone who will
receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. John 3:16;
John 1:12.
2) In the Bible, the book of John chapter 14, verse 6,
Jesus says, “I
am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes
to the Father, but by Me.” At one point,
during Jesus' life on earth, Philip, one of his close
disciples, asked him a question. Philip
said, "Lord, show us the Father [God] and that
will be enough for us."
Jesus
answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after
I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who
has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say,
'Show us the Father'? John 14:8-9 Jesus
clearly stated he is God. Also John
10:30
In
most world religions, men or women are the founders
and it is expected of their disciples to follow the
founder's ideas in order for them to find the way to
heaven. And invariably, the following is based on
fulfilling the founder's ideas of good works and
striving to reach the heavenly goal of eternal life.
3)
The above abridged (shortened) explanation deals with
what is termed Pluralism.
The
word pluralism is used to describe the different
aspects or regimes of our world's social cultures.
Another use of pluralism is used to put forth the idea
that all religions are equal. Don't you believe it.
Trust the Biblical truth of Christianity. Follow the
Bible, God's word and the word of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God. ~
Rick Lawrence

The
Story of a Chevy who wanted to be a Cadillac
A certain
Chevrolet car dreamed of being a large, luxury
Cadillac car. The Chevy was so captivated by the idea,
he decided he must do something about it. He must
become a Caddy. Here is how he went about becoming a
Cadillac. You decide. Did he go about it the right
way? To begin with the Chevy drove to a Cadillac
dealership, where they sold new and pre-owned Caddies.
He took a close look at the car lot, then hurried to
an auto parts store. The Chevy bought Cadillac
bumpers, side mirrors and antenna and got them
installed there. Next, he hurried back to the Cadillac
car lot, pulled into an empty space in the front row
and parked between two Cadillacs. The caddies didn't
like it one bit -- having a Chevy parked between them
trying to dress up to look like a Caddy. The Chevy was
so proud to be what he thought he was -- a real
Cadillac.
Not long afterward, a little girl and her mother
happened to walk by the Cadillac lot. The little girl
begin to giggle. "Mother, she said, 'Look at that
silly Chevy dressed up like a Cadillac!' He's trying
to be a Cadillac. Isn't that funny!" The Chevy
heard all of this and was terribly embarrassed. He
felt stupid and dejected. He pulled out of the
Cadillac lot and drove to a park where he stopped for
a while. Just then, another car pulled up and they
talked together for a while. The Chevy was tearful as
he told about his failure to become a Cadillac. The
other car said, "I think I know what you are
doing wrong," and he told the Chevy where to find
the secret of how to become a real Cadillac. He told
the Chevy to drive to the Cadillac factory and they
would help him become a Cadillac. The Chevy hurried to
the Cadillac factory.
The Chevy
reached the Cadillac factory and talked there with the
factory superintendent. Oh, the super told him.
"I see you are unregenerate." Huh? said the
Chevy? "I mean you can't be a Cadillac in the
form you are in. 'You need to be completely changed.
You need to be changed into a new form. What we'll do
is melt you down, totally, then pour the molten metal
into ingots and forms which we'll send to our rolling
mill and stamping machines and you will be made into
new parts -- Cadillac parts -- and then we'll assemble
all of these new parts on the assembly line and you'll
end up regenerated from a Chevy to a new Cadillac.
There is no other way for you to become a
Cadillac,'" he told the Chevy. And so the Chevy
who was unregenerate became regenerate the factory
way. When he drove off the assembly line he was a
sparkling new Cadillac!
What's
this got to do with me? And what did the factory super
mean by being unregenerate? Plenty! He
was telling the Chevy he needed to be recreated or regenerated.
How does this illustration apply to people? Here's how
Webster's dictionary defines regenerate.
Webster's Collegiate Dictionary -- regenerate: to
become formed or created again: spiritually reborn or
converted: an individual who is spiritually reborn.
Unregenerate: simply means the opposite that you have
never been spiritually reborn. Why is it important to
understand these two terms? Because Jesus said unless
a person is born again [spiritually] he or she will
not see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3-5). In other
words, You must be spiritually reborn, or you will not
go to heaven when you die, regardless of your good
works. Jesus wasn't talking
about changing your denomination, church affiliation,
or becoming a preacher, missionary or anything like
that. He was talking about your personal relationship
with God and Himself. The
Bible says whether or not you go to heaven when you
die is strictly up to you. Only you make the decision:
Not your parents, not your wife, not a friend. The
decision is up to you, only; it is between you and
God.
Are
you troubled with concerns and problems? I
believe for everyone on planet earth who is struggling
with problems, for instance: health, relationship,
financial, or spiritual concerns, the answer begins at
a starting point.
I believe the Bible has the miracle answer. The
greatest answer to the concerns and problems we face
in life is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
This miracle step: 1) settles the question of “where
will we spend eternity when we die
2) When we make Jesus Christ our personal
Savior and the Lord of our life, He will help us
with the many concerns and problems we face.
This
does not mean
any of us will be unaffected by these concerns and
problems, but it brings the truths of the Bible and
the help of Jesus, the Son of Jehovah God who will
show us the way to overcome life’s problems. Jesus
will often directly intervene to set us free from
these bondages. It is a win -- win decision you can
make, right now. The starting point means you will be
changed -- spiritually born again. You will have a new
start. The Bible,
God's Word, guarantees it: 2 Corinthians 5:17.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
Are
You 100% Certain Where You Will Spend Eternity?
You will die some day; it may be
much sooner than you think. At that moment, you will
either spend eternity with God and Jesus, or be cast
into Hell and be forever separated from God and
the Lord Jesus Christ. To know for certain you will be
forever with Jesus, read below -- How to get to heaven
when you die.
God
loves us with all of our faults and mistakes. After
all, He sent his Son, Jesus, to die for sinners not
the righteous.
Hell
-- Jesus spoke of a place of
punishment. Language about hell seeks to describe for
humans the most awful punishment human language can
describe to warn unbelievers before it is too late.
Earthly experience would lead us to believe that the
nature of punishment will fit the nature of the sin.
Certainly, no one wants to suffer the punishment of
hell, and through God's grace the way for all is open
to avoid hell and know the blessings of eternal life
through Christ
How
to Get to Heaven When You Die. I
have some questions for you, today: If
you died this minute Do you know if you would go to
heaven?" Many
of you will tell me you don’t know or you don’t
think so. I appreciate your honesty.
"Let
me ask you this: Would you like to know? Don't you
think it would be great if you could know that if you
died you would go to Heaven?" I believe there
are many of you out there who have listened to me
enough that you have come to the point where you
really would like to know if you were to die today
would you go to heaven.
This is my last
question: let
me ask you this: “If I could take the Bible and
explain to you how you could know, right now, beyond
any shadow of a doubt, and you could see it and
understand it, would you believe it? Would you do what
the Bible says?”
I believe many of you are saying, “yes, I
will.”
All right, In the
Bible, the Book of Romans
Chapter 3, verse 10 it says, As
it is written: "There is no one righteous, not
even one. Next,
Romans Chapter
3, verse 23 says, “for all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God” The Bible says we all
have sinned. Now, notice what the Bible says in Romans,
Chapter 5, verse 12, it says, “Therefore, just as
sin entered the world through one man [Adam], and
death through sin, and in this way death came to all
men, because all sinned. Then, Romans,
Chapter 6, verse 23 says, “For the wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord.”
So, the Bible tells us that everyone is a
sinner, and then it tells us the price of sin.
Now, here is the good
news! Jesus
Christ has paid the price for our sin. In Romans,
Chapter 5, verse 8 it says, “But God demonstrates
his own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.” Let’s review
what we have just learned.
There
are only four things you must know to get to heaven.
First, you must know that you are a sinner.
For example, Romans
3:10
says, 'As it
is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.'
Let me illustrate. If
there is none righteous, that means I'm not righteous,
doesn't it? Also, it says, 'For
all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.' Now,
if all have sinned, that means I've sinned -- right?
And that means you have sinned."
"You do realize
that you are a sinner?
For example, the Bible mentions some sins such as
evil thinking, bad literature, If you have ever told a
lie, or taken something that doesn’t belong to you,
or cheated only to name a few sins – you can see
what the Bible is saying. “everyone is a sinner.
Second,
we see the price of sin.
Romans
5:12
says,
"Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into
the world, and death by sin..." What kind of
death? All death, both spiritual and physical death,
the sum total of death. "...and
so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned." And Romans
6:23
, "For
the wages of sin is death..." So, there is a
price on sin.
What is that price? Death! What kind of death?
That includes the second death of Revelation
20:14, and that second death
is the
Lake
of
Fire
. So,
ultimately a person who is a sinner must pay for it by
going to Hell.
That is the basic price on sin.
Third,
Jesus paid the price.
Listen, God looked
down from Heaven and saw that you were a sinner. He
saw that you were in sin.
He saw that you and I deserved to go to Hell. He
wanted to save us and made a plan to do it. He came
to the world Himself. His name was Jesus.
He was God in a human body. For thirty-three years He
lived here in this world. He did not commit one single
sin.
This is important!
Suppose that Jesus Christ had sinned one time only.
The price of sin being death or Hell, where would
Jesus have had to go when He died?
The answer is Hell, but He did not sin.
He did not commit one sin, but He went to the
cross, and on the cross He suffered spiritual death.
He suffered the same thing that a lost person will
have to suffer in Hell. Actually
He was paying our price for our sins. He was
becoming our substitute.
Fourth,
"If we will receive
that price as our hope for Heaven and receive Him as
our Savior from sin, He will make us His children and
take us to Heaven when we die."
Let me review it with you now.
Let me ask you these questions:
Do you realize that you are a sinner?
Do you realize that a person who dies in his or
her sins goes eternally to Hell?
Do you realize that Jesus Christ has suffered
your Hell already for you? OK
If we bow our heads together and have prayer
and you sincerely invite Christ into your heart as
your Savior, the Lord of your life, do you believe God
will make you His child.?
I know that many of you listening
understand now and you would like to receive Christ as
the personal Savior and lord of your life.
In
the Bible, the Book of Revelation, 3:20 Jesus says,
"Look! I have been standing at the door, and I am
constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling him
and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with
him and he with me. Christ
is the answer! Jesus
is standing at the door of your heart. Will you
open the door and invite him in?
Let me help you pray. Pray
this prayer, and speak the words as you pray: Lord
Jesus, I know I’m a sinner and my life
isn’t right in your sight. I ask you to forgive my
sins. I repent of my sins and with your help, I will
change my ways. Thank you for dying on the cross for
me. I am opening the door of my heart to you and I ask
you, Jesus, to come into my heart and become my
personal Savior and Lord of my life. Thank you for
this new miracle beginning. Help me to live for you
and do what pleases you. Amen.

If
you said yes to Jesus and invited him into your
heart to become your
personal Savior and the Lord of your life, the Bible
says he
will keep his promise and he has come into
your heart and life. You will have been spiritually
born again or born anew. Your sins are forgiven
and Jesus Christ has given you a new start. Millions
of people are nominal (in name only) Christians, and
have all the trappings, viewpoints and religious form
of Christianity, but their Bible knowledge is
"head" knowledge. Many of these people have
not known the Bible way to salvation and eternal life
through Jesus Christ, and follow the religious
traditions of men, however, many would certainly take
the proper step to be spiritually born again if they
knew what the
Bible teaches about it.
The difference between head knowledge and heart
knowledge lies in the fact that when you are truly,
spiritually born again, you receive a supernatural,
miracle experience an impartation from God. You
are regenerated, indwelled by the Holy Spirit and your
understanding will open up. The Holy Spirit will bear
witness with your spirit that you are a new creature
(person); you will know in your spirit that you are
changed and have a new spiritual beginning in your
life. You can read about it in John chapter 3.
Note: 2 Cor.5:17 which says, "Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has
gone, the new has come!"
Have
you received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior?

You will die some day maybe sooner than you expect.
Are you 100% sure that you will go to heaven when you
die? I recommend getting
right with God by making a decision to accept Jesus
Christ into your heart as your personal Savior and the
Lord of your life. The Bible tells us
it will mean a huge difference in our
protection,
our success, and
will determine where we spend eternity: whether
forever with Jesus, or separated from him forever, and
assigned to Hell. ~Rick

An
illogical person says
there is no God.
[He or she says] all the wonders around
us are accidental.
No almighty hand made a thousand billion
stars. They
made themselves. No power keeps them on their steady
course. The
earth spins itself to keep the oceans from falling
off toward the sun.
Infants teach themselves to cry when
they are hungry or hurt.
A small flower invented itself so that
we could extract digitalis for sick hearts.
The earth gave itself day
and night, tilted itself so that we get seasons.
Without the magnetic poles man
would be unable to navigate the trackless oceans of
water and air, but they just grew there. How about
the sugar thermostat in the pancreas?
It maintains a level of sugar in the blood
sufficient for energy.
Without it, all of us would fall into a coma
and die. Why
does snow sit on mountain-tops waiting for the warm
spring sun to melt it at just the right time for the
young crops in farms below to drink?
A very lovely accident?
The human heart will beat for 70 or
80 years without faltering. How does it get sufficient
rest between beats?
A kidney will filter poison from the
blood, and leave good things alone.
How does it know one from the other?
Who gave the human tongue flexibility to
form words, and a brain to understand them, but denied
it to all animals?
Who showed a womb how to take the love
of two persons and keep splitting a tiny ovum until,
in time, a baby would have the proper number of
fingers, eyes and ears and hair in the right places,
and come into the world when it is strong enough to
sustain life?
[There is no God? "You've got to be
kidding!"] ~ Jim Bishop
