This deserves a response. And I have yet to see one appear. An awful awful
thing happened. It makes you reconsider what is happening in your life and
in the lives of those around you. "You shall know the truth and the truth
shall set you free" What a powerful scripture.

zeal and passion should be the driving force in our lives. If it's not we
need to reconsider. I personally have found my zeal and passion for Jesus
and the *Christian* God and I will say that I will not change that. My
challenge to all is, no matter where you stand on your faith these days,
always pursue to be passionate. Be willing to die for a cause greater than
yourselves.
