Choose Life.
Mom did.
Don's Depot God has done everything; He has done the impossible: He was
made flesh. His all-powerful love has accomplished something which surpasses all
human understanding: the Infinite has become a child, has entered the human
family. And yet, this same God cannot enter my heart unless I open the door to
him.
