Jonathan - I had to laugh this morning, thanks. While we (ok I) continue to disagree, you close most open points with "no worries" ... very British. I find it interesting because I don't believe we've aligned yet both of us think there is no value in arguing (which I appreciate) ... then later I wonder if you think we agreed while I think we did not.

It's always funny to me that some people assume love somehow removes the Gospel from the story, as if we have no story to tell.
