Indeed- my imagination has been broadened by hearing this lecture by Jerry Root. I'm encouraged to think deeper, broader and higher about perplexing issues, and see the intense love of God by doing so.

Thing lecture is amazing. Do I understand it all. Well, no (my dear wife asked me why am I crying) . All I could say say was amazement was and is that for which we ultimately were made. She said I understand. I am 3x bested.

Just when you thought this lecture couldn't get any better you realize that the music at the beginning and the end sounded like Phil Keaggy because it was some Phil Keaggy music.
