- Okay...about Extreme.
-
- Try listening to the song called "Rise And Shine" on their new album. More
- than once they mention that "There`s a time for everything", and the section
- of the album it is from is subtitled "Everything Under The Sun." As far as
- I know, this is spoken of in Ecclesiastes, so there may be *some* proof of
- their 'searching' for the truth.
-
- Did you ever consider "More Than Words" as God speaking to us telling us that
- we SHOULD LIVE OUR LIVES WITH MORE THAN WORDS....with actions showing our
- committment to Him??????
-
- I hope so....

- In our Savior,
