thanks for writing back. I have to leave right now, but want you to know how much I enjoy both your writing, and how seriously you take this. I seem to recognize in you the same thing i feel so important to me,- "seeking to establish God's righteousness". I guess we're all maybe guilty of seeking to establish our own, to various degrees.
All works-in-progress? I suspected nothing of what I've come to regard as the endlessly fascinating Bible contents, a few years ago. now i want to tell as many as possible as much as possible about this book, a wonderful body of evidence of God's righteousness.
Yes you did get under my skin. For one thing, I knew you were right about attributions. I think you may be a left-brain [oh, i mean brian] -dominant person? [have you thought this?], and I a right brian- dominant. It's happened a few times that left-brainers I know, and love, have gotten legitimately [not fakely, as i implied in your case] upset with me , thinking I was doing the things that annoyed them deliberately, to insult them, but I wasn't. And I am a hothead, but I'm better than I was ,I hope, and at least know that's not the way- now. I still stand by what I said last week "wouldn't want to be deprived of you."
