Do blogs tell each other that their masters are talking about each other? <BR/>Anyway, thanks so much for you thoughts. <BR/>One day soon I plan on posting about my friend David, the minister to the common and confused. There is nothing quite as refreshing as finding folk who are willing to admit that they are just like me, unsure.<BR/>I still visit you daily.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904304335819109123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8461983815945410278.post-24174103264112469492007-09-18T21:55:00.000-04:002007-09-18T21:55:00.000-04:00hey bob. good post. you are indeed welcome anytime...hey bob. good post. you are indeed welcome anytime to take space on my blog commenting. i agree: physical and scientific facts and scripture are mutually exclusive. the bible is not a scientific document, and hardly historical.nakedpastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343175059394258907noreply@blogger.com
