Quote (Not3in1 @ Sep. 20 2009,05:41)I haven't picked up my bible in ages.  As a collection of books I find it very insightful and inspiring, but I no longer believe the dried ink has power to “save” me.  Nor do I believe that added books are helpful in the saving of anyone.  But they sure do give us a lot to talk about, don't they?Love,MandyHi No…[Read more]
