I agree it's a pressing need, but it's also pretty difficult to escape the usual ways of talking about providence.Terry Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641805384260706563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222209604521810028.post-73632352996867626382011-01-04T11:10:03.598+00:002011-01-04T11:10:03.598+00:00Having just found your blog, I am liking the way y...Having just found your blog, I am liking the way you put things.
