I agree that she's not very likely a fire-and-brimstone Christian, but considering how dramatic she is as well as other statements drawing aspersions against herself and her worthiness, I'm not ready yet to let go of lingering, if not dominant, self-doubt.Joseph Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090686611405364311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395948500312534280.post-42595695108639719342010-12-18T05:34:29.184-07:002010-12-18T05:34:29.184-07:002.
