The dismembering of a human being routinely in 30 minutes on an outpatient bases - or any other way - is barbaric. Four blocks from our church all year long - like churches within smelling distance of Auschwitz or Dachau or Buchenwald.

God loves to show mercy . . . His anger must be released by a stiff safety lock, but His mercy has a hair trigger.
