For some reason I did not receive Pete’s original post this morning, but only Lance’s reply.  This makes me wonder how many other posts aren’t coming through!

Sometimes it never comes. IMO that's quite OK with God Himself.   . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pete" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: December 22, 2004 08:43 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Flesh and Spirit     >  > > 1.
