  My faith in prayer is firmly founded in the fact that sometimes when I needed something, I got it. The fact that others with more desperate needs than mine went totally ignored was of no concern to me; _my_ relationship with the Universal Sovereign was secure. Let each work out his own salvation.

  ...oops, running low on peanut butter!

  "O Great and Powerful Lord Jehovah, Creator and Ruler of The Heavens and The Earth and all those who live in them, please send me some peanut butter. In the name of your magical Son Jesus Christ I ask, AMEN."

  god, I love peanut butter!

  God's "Timetable" just nauseates me.

  Coco - was the Aid book Ray Franz's work? Wish I'd saved it -- not certain I ever had it but recall looking through one at someone's home. Also, heard about the Book of James that the cult discontinued -- many were fond of it.

  Nothing more needs be said.

  I believe so, along with Charlie Ploeger and others. Ed Dunlap wrote Commentary on the Book of James. So sad and wrong what happened to such dedicated brothers.
