" A person elected to...

    Does GOD control how the masses vote?

    GOD appoints to office whom he wills. Does that mean GOD controls how people will vote, if it gets his will done. I sometimes think people will vote against their common sense or reasoning.

    I don't think you will see many politicians in heaven.

    I wish GOD had made match making easier and not guess work

    A good match, both peoples eyes would light up blue, a bad match their eyes would turn red. The better or worse the match, the deeper the color. Once married, the colors would disappear.

    Interesting comment about Joseph ruling in Egypt

    I. CONSIDER THE POLICY OF THIS EGYPTIAN PRIME MINISTER. Many things we admire in Joseph, but we must not be blind to the fact that he thought more of binding the people to the throne than of benefiting the people themselves. He was the first statesman of that day. His policy determined in great...
