2) Sincere thanksgiving you have come back and shared this.
3) Another confession. Back in my younger days I'd read C.S. Lewis's God in the Dock and only knew Anscombe as the one who defeated Lewis in a debate -- the account I read said that when they asked her what happened, she leaned back, *lit up a cigar*, and said, "I won."
Little did I know then (I was Protestant) that she was in fact a devout Catholic, with *five* children...
4) This vision of yours is dovetailing with some other reading I am doing (Bede's A History of the English Church and People) in which others have returned from near death preaching the necessity for repentance.
Again, prayers will start for you and include thanksgiving.
gw! Baby!
How is it going? So nice to see you, even if you haven’t been leaving many trails lately.
You know I have had my problems with FR but this is my family — we may spat but we always have each other’s back.
People like Mrs. Don-O and, yes, you, are what makes FR the greatest place on the interwebz :)
