A Dr David Stevens, the pastor of Central Bible Church where Charlie and Rachel have attended for decades and decades.this trim, tall, smiling, pleasant FYO type (Fine Young Officer- thanks to Seth for giving me a succinct way to describe this type of personality) cheerily administered the first of two floggings: Don't feel sad!

Days and seasons in NoPo. Monday, May 28, 2007. I've been mulling for a while, responses to which always intrigue me when I pose them for my evangelical friends:. Why is it that just about the only people who believe in hell are those who believe they aren’t going there?
