Isaiah 53:4-5 KJV (4)  Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Romans 5:20-21 (20)  But Law came in besides, that the deviation might abound.

There is this notion that is trying to take over our society– [...]

Silence?

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Psa 27:9  Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Psa 27:1  <A Psalm of David.> The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Personal computers have come such a long way in how easy it is to install and begin using programs, utilities and new hardware. [...]
