I can appreciate this. Kind of hard to comment because it is, as the heading says "doctrinal" in content. You are assembling thoughts here that Christians would take for granted, and that is one type of art form that appeals to a particular audience. I assume that it means a lot to you personally, just because you took the time to put it down. But I can't really tell. That is possibly why I don't often see people commenting on this sort of post on Xomba, lest you be discouraged. Things like this remind me of a guitar soloist pulling cliche after cliche out of the air, it can be really good and not sound cliche, depending on what kind of groove he's in, or it can be so-so. Anyway, glad you shared it; have a good day on the road. www.joesnare.com
