By the Grace of the Almighty i have returned...needed only to put in a token appearance, and all is well.

Thank you OP. Having lurked some of these threads, i feel quite intimidated to be in the company of some of you, quite formidable. At this time, i will seek brevity in comment, because i am still getting a feel for HTML. Not brave enough to try anything yet. I took the name when i realised that deplictions of John Calvin looked a great deal to me as if he were the 16th Century version of Darth Vader. i mean, would any of YOU want to fill THAT guy's inbox with spam?? Ask Michael Servetus why that is a bad idea (you want fries with that?). Truth is a hugh issue to me. The invisible Church in all of it's expressions is now going through a crisis of truth and authority, even the Catholics. To reverse this trend i believe that is first neccessary to inform the world that Love is not necessarily the "warm fuzzies" that is portrayed to us. Some times love is a smack across the a$$, and one of those can be more beneficial than 1000 warm fuzzies, especially to a child. In the case of the church, i think we may need a 2x4 to th back of the head to get their attention.
