Its me again - the Addicted One -- just for a few moments

We are looking at our last full day in Utah (St. George) . We (there are three of us) plan to begin editing some of what we have written yesterday and this morning . . . . . editing begins sometime this afternoon. We are actually getting a full 16 hours out of each of the first two days -- that's 16 hours "times" 3 .

A sample of one of our "chapters" is this :

Contrast

If grace comes through obedience, God is obligated
If grace covers only some, God is limited
If all are "saved," God is no longer necessary
If grace can be rejected, God is not Sovereign
If no one is lost, God isn't looking.
If choice does not matter, God is a tyrant.

Understand that politics are a distraction that effect my (our) life but the issue of faith is that which gives us the where-with-all to deal with life's circumstance. No faith, no fulfillment -- and I don't who you are, this is the truth for you, a " truth" you will deal with until the day you die. OF COURSE I CANNOT PROVE IT, but neither can you prove any of a number of mathematical functions (i.e. "postulates") . You have no clue about tomorrow. You go to sleep BELIEVING that you will wake up to a new day with new assignments and promises. In fact, it is "faith" that puts your butt into a chair. You "sit" believing that that particular chair will hold you up. You live your life by faith every time you pass through an intersection or plan an event -- it all begins with "faith."

With that in mind, you have an understanding as to why this book is about issues of faith. Such issues are the only things that truly matter.

The above is a sample of an entire chapter. Some chapters are several pages, others get to the point quicker.

Anyway, the angry black guy in our White House does not matter for the remainder of this week.
