Fear of course has its uses. But like the other great powers, like Sin and like Death, it hungers for the kind of authority reserved for a god. And I give him what he wants far too often an far too habitually.nathan's shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333649679313721590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009563.post-1154865813563472162006-08-06T08:03:00.000-04:002006-08-06T08:03:00.000-04:00Larry, this is one of the truest posts I have ever...Larry, this is one of the truest posts I have ever read. <BR/>I agree with Jon. <BR/>We need these invitations to our free will in order to have an opportunity to make better choices. <BR/>The time for fear is over.
