The five minutes waiting in the wings for an interview for a radio possible, I worked at that time was one of the most nerveracking in my young life. "That says to Moses:" I think.
Well, the answer was simple: "How do you feel about driving a whole nation of Jesus?" He did it at a time when it was needed, desired and is considered impossible. To this end, this loss will cause ripples in the waters of the grace of God worldwide.
