Thank you for posting this article. I found it refreshing and enriching. There's always the danger of looking at it purely as a 'numbers game,' but if anything, I got the opposite impression from the post. Reflecting on the differences between God's mercy and God's wrath can be particularly fruitful - especially during trying times.
