WFW: God Says YES

WFW: God Says YES

I got an email this morning– one of those lousy “Forwards” emails. You know, like those chain emails that go on and on and on while people forward them to every aunt, uncle, and business associate… you know, those emails that are absolutely worthless. I thought I had seen them all when I got one [...]
