Also dear friend from Australia. She is a Baptist minister, but doesn't work full time. We don't agree about most things related to politics and other issues. Strong prayer partner.

(22:51) Break 1
(24:26) Michelle - The Lord gave me a blessing. 30-40 years before I could grow and see with his eyes. I don't know if it's a special virtue, but forgiveness. Grew up with a wife-beating child molester. Took that long to forgive him. The Lord gave me an opportunity to see that man before he was corrupted by porn and alcohol. Forgive everybody, everything, every day.
