Your site has become one of my “go-to” sites when I am doing my Bible study.\u00a0 I am frequently left wondering how you find the time to construct such thorough and well-thought-out answers to so many questions.\u00a0 From your background in science, it’s clear that God blessed you with a gift of intelligence and articulation and it’s encouraging and inspiring to see you using that gift.<\/p>\n
Thanks for all your hard work.<\/p>\n\t
For the most part, the site exists because it has been accumulating over the last 9 years. But then I end up working on it in whatever spare time I can come up with. I can’t stand sitting idle.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
