The "show us" questions are central to that which still much divides ourselves (whatever we are-- Evangelicals? "Protestants?" other Christians not much connected or wedded to idea there was to be some singular "papacy" as it grew to become to be known, it not having been there from the very beginnings of Christianity?, yeah, those guys) and those who subscribe to Roman Catholicism as we see it described.

I would gladly set aside desire to have my own replies addressed, if your own were to be considered with due care, rather than be either fought against, distracted away from --- or simply ignored.

I sit here and write -- after just hearing of my own father having passed. And a little dog which was my one of my sister's own before she passed away about a year ago -- has some infirmity I don't know what -- but is as if imploring me to help him, I'm afraid the little dog is going to go, too. poor thing. he won't eat, for two days now. something is really wrong. I pity the little creature. he's innocent, and as sweet a little dog as he can be. he does try.

Dear BlueDragon

There's little I can say to all that,but grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Right this minute I'm cursing the physical distance between us.

Sorry about your dad's passing, but hope he was on the Lord;s side. And yes, dogs can be precious to us, and i have stories....but they can know when it is time to go.
