To help some of those touched by SITG with their faith walk, I am writing Bible study letters to encourage them to read God's Word and hear Him speak. Since these people are just getting back on their feet, they do not have computers.

It was always a question whether the priest could survive, as in LIVE, to tell the people of God's mercy in accepting their animal sacrifice for their sins. WAS IT PERFECT ENOUGH?

We women can become obsessed with our appearance, in hope of making someone love us. But surely we know that THAT is not love. Love is a choice made from the innocence of human need and attraction. We are loved and do love for who we are. Anything else is manipulation.We must CHOOSE God.
