I mean my FR homework.

However I am in the midst of organizing myself to get back into the study with an institution you know quite well.

Wow. Can I go too?

On the serious side, though it is good that we affirm that God knows all of reality. Boyd says he does believe that. He says he's accused of saying that God is ignorant of some things. He replies that he believes God knows everything in all of reality.

He cautions, though, that God does not know about the new Beemer sportscar in my garage. Why? Because there is no beemer sportscar in my garage.

Applied to the future, he appears to be saying that God prefectly knows of that someday I will choose to receive social security at age 62 or 65 or 70. That decision, however, hasn't arrived yet. Therefore, God knows it as a decision I will make because He has granted me the free choice to make decisions.

Is that what you understand him to be saying?
