Upon reading the paper his professor gave him an F. This offended the student, who confronted the professor, demanding to know why he had received a failing grade. To which the professor responded, "What difference does it make?"   Your statement puts me in mind of this, Terry. I am puzzled by what appears to be your conclusion. Does there have to be "great" Christians for the words they speak to be true? I think not. We speak on the authority of Christ's greatness. If not, then on what basis ought I agree or disagree with -- or even give a darn about -- what you have to say about best keeping "our eyes on the real King"?    Bill =============================================================== I gave you excellent advice to keep your eyes on Christ.   Do what you want with it.
