In sum, we have dignity as God's creature regardless of our 'darker side.'<br /><br />Keep the good stuff coming Bill, I can not easily state how much you have done to open my mind and heart on my soul's journey this year.<br /><br />Happy 4th,<br />JamesJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902056467606174163noreply@blogger.com
