It's a wonder that I don't fling myself at the first kind word or gesture that comes my way, but I don't, ou... ou... ou... out of some sense of dried-up loyalty and respect, neither of which I ever bloody get in return.
Jean, his wife: [long pause] I checked my emails. There's one from Laura.”

“Our loyalty must be to God's truth above all else, unwavering in our commitment to Scripture. When men or institutions deviate from biblical teachings, it's our duty to stand firm in correction and refutation. Jesus' miracles on earth were a testament to His divine nature, demonstrating His omnipotence and deity. The Jews understood His claims perfectly, accusing Him of blasphemy for making Himself God. As the Son of God incarnate, Jesus retained His divine attributes, being 100% omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent even in His earthly ministry. By upholding the biblical portrayal of Christ's divinity, we honor the truth of who He is and the salvation He offers.”
