Since I can't remember my source, I can neither confirm nor deny its validity.<BR/><BR/>However, if it <EM>does</EM> have some merit to it, than would that imply the Holy Spirit's moving brings with it <EM>even more obvious</EM> results?<BR/><BR/>And does this mean that Dan (being in the Midwestern U.S. and thus under greater threat of tornadoes) is somehow closer to God? Should all Christians move to the heartland? (Okay, I'm sorry: it's Friday, you don't seem to want to punch me after yesterday's post... I've got all sorts of reasons to be a little goofy.) ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954858993868110366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538825134834187144.post-60852263194850163212007-11-09T10:04:00.000-05:002007-11-09T10:04:00.000-05:00Hardy har har. :-)Hardy har har. <BR/><BR/>:-)Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454966527986478217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538825134834187144.post-67108326534047212862007-11-09T10:01:00.000-05:002007-11-09T10:01:00.000-05:00Kudos, J!
