Hey all,
Here in DC there is a big controversy going on as to whether this is the truth or not. People are making a big deal over it. Some People call it a hoax, but IMHO, I could find it believable. But Now get this, someone somewhere will probably try to involve Ollie North with the Enron thing because of all the SHREDDING that was involved.
Smile, remember God's still got it under control even if we feel like He just up and left. He didn't. We did. He told us that.
