Erik – My wife has been advised to take birth control. Is that okay?
Charlie - How is it that God calls David great, after what he did?
Linda - Abraham gave his wife Sarah away twice to save himself, could you explain that a little more.  Who did he give her away to?
Mary - As somebody who came from a domestic violence situation; Fr. Simon is the first Catholic commentator, shedding light that David was a thug.
Marie - to be absent from the body is to be present in the Lord.  And friend says that scripture is not supposed to be.  Could you explain?  When we die, going to be the Lord?  Is that true?
Mary - Does that help the soul out of purgatory, if doing something like setting scholarship up for someone?
