let's see, I like what it says in the Bible "he who has an ear let him hear" and then
also it says "though having eyes they do not see, by having minds they don't
understand" I see that coming out a lot. even in some of these messages. some people
don't get it. they don't understand what has been said in parable form. the majority
of people don't get the Bible.

LOL very true. if you can't live by something all the time and show others then what
are you doing being involved in it? though I am not perfect, becuase I couldn't show
some of the messages I get on this list to others. ;-)
