Let's assume, for purposes of this post, that God created the earth in seven days or less.

ReplyDeleteI have to admit, sadly, that you have never given me any kind of advice in my dreams, blasphemous or otherwise. I still only remember one dream of mine that you were in. In this dream I was with my family staying over-night in a cabin that happened to be at a water park in Canada. You just showed up in winter clothing, though it was summer, with a freshly trimmed goat-tee, and you wanted to play board-games.
