I come not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

*apologizes for the interupption* Hey Sacha I tried to reply, but your box is full. Thanks for the books! I received them a few days ago. *hugs*

Oh my gosh statrei I thought you did not prefer long posts.:D I will try my best to keep it short, but building is a process..so try and do me the honor of taking it into consideration. I do not know what you mean when you refer to Matthew negating the view that the Apostles would live to...

I thought up water ripple cuz it is a reflection of my life...my real name is Alicia
