May grace and mercy be yours. GRACE is what you are given which you do not deserve. MERCY is not being given what you deserve.

This bit from Vic Phares: "The domain; freedomsring.org, is ranked # 27.650 out of 446,219 domains in the WebsMostLinked.com database. That is in the top ten per cent of that group.

If you like to conjecture, try this question. Think of a Hebrew man in Egypt, as others were sprinkling the blood on their mantels, declaring that he would not participate in such a senseless activity in which he did not believe. However, his wife and children insist so strongly that he consents to do it simply for their sake. Would his firstborn have been spared? Whatever your answer may be, how far could it apply in our lives?

Recently I sent another M-Bag of 96 books to Dr. Prasad in India. 84 of them were my titles and 12 were "I Permit Not A Woman…To Remain Shackled" by Robert Rowland donated by him.. Bob and Stan Paher both give out free copies of FIC at the lectureships that they attend. Dr. Prasad still has about 1200 copies of the Telugu version of FIC. He has distributed some of them at Lutheran and Baptist seminaries.

As you visit your kin and friends this summer, give them books. Or send books ahead and discuss them when you visit.

Through your concern and generosity, our working fund remains healthy with about $4000.00. We are still hoping to put out a Spanish translation of FIC for free distribution this year.

Commenting on the claim that the body in which Jesus was manifested after his resurrection is the one he has in heaven, and that ours will be like his, Greg Rasaka, of Newberg, OR, made a forceful point in a letter to me. The apostle, John, saw Jesus in intimate association after he was risen, but he wrote later, "It does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). John is saying that we will be like Jesus, but not like the form he had seen on earth.

Another point: In his risen body Jesus was able to appear and disappear unhindered by normal physical barriers. So if we are given a body like his in our resurrection, we can leave the grave without disturbing the soil. And we may escape the locked bronze casket without opening it!

Right there in Nashville: Leroy Garrett is scheduled to speak three times at Nashville Jubilee in July! I am sure many of you will be eager to meet and hear him there. Many of you have been influenced greatly by his liberating writings. In years to come you will be glad you saw, met, and heard this prominent reformer and his wife, Ouida.
