So the Lord called me, and I became aware of it around 17, though I didn't say, "Yes," to him until I was 19. And it's funny because, when we talked about the Lord calling us, it's like it's this one-time experience [...]

You may be seated. Well, it might be redundant to say so, but I think it's important that we define what is a thesis. In philosophy, years of your thesis will state a position or a claim. It will state a position or a claim. It's to take a [...]

There is a small, minute phrase in the text that I started to pull up, but you can look it up whenever you want to. It's a simple little sentence, but it has great impact, it has the force of a sledgehammer. It says, "And then the manna [...]
