The woman who was the model for Papa I knew.  She was a wonderful, awesome woman who has gone to be with the Lord.  She was a Pastor at EastHill Foursquare Church in Gresham, Oregon when I was in college.  I heard the author speak at a Free Methodist conference that I attended several years ago.  He is an excellent speaker.

Nothing sinful about that, just something us humans might do.  His image of the Holy Spirit was fascinating to me.  Again, he used the female, but by that time it wasn't such an issue for me.  And you know, in Genesis God says let us make man in our image.  (I'm paraphrasing here).  I think when you read a book that is fiction, you have to read it that way.  Not like it's literally the Bible.  I loved the book, and look forward to seeing if The Crossroads is available.  I hope you do read it Poppa Bear, I think that you would like it.  I got it from Bookshare, but I'm pretty sure it's on BARD, or by now I'm sure there's an audible version of that book available.    Blessings,    DEBBY and Neena
