I'm sorry for your loss, John; good friends are hard to find.

Glad you mentioned CRI; I haven't heard Hank Hanegraaff for a long time. CRI deals with some pretty knotty apologetical problems. On some, I find them helpful (e.g., a hyperbolic view of ethnic cleansing of Caanan); on others, I'm diametrically opposed (e.g. their view of hell as eternal, conscious punishing).

Thanks for reading my story. More stories to come, D.V.! 😄😇😄
