        i just wanted to thank james for the copy of "the screwtape
   letters" he sent me!  i recommend it to anyone and everyone!  also,
   with respect to the current discussion, i want to say that i believe that
   the majority of people on christia have it right, but we must remember
   always to be gentle with non-believers when we "discuss" our beliefs.
   its very easy to get into an "well im right and ur wrong" attitude, but
   this kind of arguing does nothing to advance the cause of Jesus.  all that
   we do in His name we must do with love in our hearts.  ive really been
   convicted lately with the knowledge that i do not always handle very well
   the opportunities i have to discuss Christ with others.  ive resolved to
   try to understand where the other person is coming from instead of just
   looking at them as a "non-christian."  i dont know if im getting across
   what i mean, but i just urge everyone to think of EVERYONE on earth as
   the same.  were all sinners; some of us are just lucky enough to have
   found Jesus.

                                            in the Master's hand,
