"Nobody knows more of the truth than what His is of the truth". Kierkegaard
"Fellowship searches friendships, burning, dissolving, ennobling, transfiguring them in Heaven's glowing fire." Thomas Kelly's "A Testament of Devotion"
And I searched for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land that I should not destroy them, but I found no one.
Ezekiel 22:30
