Rome Tolerated Every Abominable Practice, Embraced Every Foul Idea In The Name Of Freedom And The Rights Of The Common Man. Citizens No Longer Carried On Deviant Behavior In Private, But Pridefully Displayed It In Public. It Was Those With Moral Values Who Could No Longer Freely Walk In A Public Park Without Having To Witness A Revolting Display. What Happened To The Public Censors Who Protected The Majority Of Citizenry From Moral Decadence? Did Freedom Have To Mean Abolishing Common Decency? Did Freedom Mean Anyone Could Do Anything They Wanted Anytime They Wanted, Without Consequences?

We All Wanted What We Wanted, And When The Lord Fulfilled His Purpose Rather Than Ours, We Struck Out Against Him. In Anger. In Disappointment. Yet, It Is God's Will That Prevails.

We Bear The Consequences For What We Have Done To Ourselves, And For The Sin That Rules This World. Jesus Forgave The Thief, But He Didn't Take Him Down Off The Cross.

Michael Had Once Read To Her How God Had Cast A Man And Woman Out Of Paradise. Yet, For All Their Human Faults And Failures. God Had Shown Them The Way Back In.

As Gentle A Man As He Was, As Tender As Was His Heart, There Was Nothing Weak About Michael Hosea. He Was The Strongest-minded Man Joseph Had Ever Met. A Man Like Noah. A Man Like The Shepherd-king David. A Man After God's Own Heart.
