Welcome! I look forward to reading your blog.

CassLynn,

With apologies to any Ford owners, I wouldn't go to a Ford dealership in any case, lol. (Good point, though.)

It’s fascinating to me that what in your church is called predestination in mine is thought of simply as omniscience and that with God there is no time so He knows what we’re going to do already.

Good to hear. This is how we're operating currently. I do get the feeling that she needs punishments for this to ultimately work though.
