I just can't imagine He's up there in heaven and this is His priority tonight. Of course, these public expressions of piety are nothing new. We hear them frequently. I knew I had to make an adjustment on the ball, and God did the rest. Perhaps the result was simply predestined, set in stone from before the foundation of the earth.
Some folks believe that.
Recently, I have been in e-mail correspondence with a young lady in South Africa named Rachel. Now, I admit most couples do not have serious relationship-threatening arguments over predestination, but these folks did, so I wanted to help and have been writing her ever since. Rachel said she believed so. Rachel is not alone. Lots of folks are fatalists.
