Am going to "mull" it over Mr. Mulliner, and probably ask a question or 2 more tomorrow.
Will say this...the person who told me this is pretty liberal.
I think he took this development as a sign that Castro's tyranny hasn't been a great as we've been led to believe - you know, the Jeeeeemy approach.
Instead, I think it is as you say the over-arching power of God at work, and perhaps a sign that Castro's grip on power is loosening. Or perhaps, the practice of religion has never been in danger there despite Castro's hold on parts of the culture.
That's what I'd like to know.
Took on a new activity today at a nearby Lutheran church - we are UCC - joined a group there putting together Braille Bibles for overseas.
The group works on several specific chapters. Today it was Chapter I, Exodus.
We've been in the market for a used car so I can give my parents' car back to them. I spotted one today that might be a good deal. Doesn't look like much as it's got big dents on both front doors and what looks like some white paint on the driver's door (it's a black car). It's also missing the driver's window and has a few other dings and such.
But it's a '97 Honda Civic with 47,000 miles and is being offered for $3900. I think I can maybe get them down to $3500 and a friend of my nephew's can probably do the body work for a good price. Replacing the window will cost around $200 or maybe less. It's got 5 belts so we could use it do drive short distances with our 3 girls, but mostly it's something I can use on my commute and get much better mileage than the Cutlass Ciera.
So....tomorrow I may go and buy a car.
