I am somewhat divided in my

On the One.hand I am 'opposed.
Abortion., for me personally

On the. other hand. I am

The computer stopped and put

asked"th-e Lord to make the. sun
stand still! That's right. `The sup
stood still, and the moon stayed
and hastened not to go down
about a whole day.' Joshua
10:8,12.13. The space men said
'There is the missing dayl'!' They
checked the computers going
back- into the time it was written
and found it was close but not
close enough. The elapsed time
that was missing back in
Joshua's day Was 23 hours and
20 minutes = not a whole. day.
They read the Bible and there it
was - `about (approximately) a
day.' • '
