Hi Gino, John and Doves,

Gino - Once again you have written letters that urge the rest of us to really THINK about the deeper meaning underneath scripture. The way your mind works is incredible. I am often left in a bit of awe at the stuff you bring to the fore. Thank you, Gino. You hide your spirituality and intellectual depth behind a very humble façade. It's very beautiful.

You expressed admiration for Neil Oliver's wit and wisdom. It takes one to know one! Lol. Your replies to Steve C's letters were elegant, addressed with the right amount of acid and withering rebuke. You demonstrate how restrained admonition is far more attractive than the enraged bull elephant approach that I tend towards. Your approach takes wisdom, skill and mature Christianity. I thank Almighty God for the talented watchmen on 5 Doves.

I was particularly taken with your remarks in the letter in the link below.

"It doesn't pass the smell test" is a sentence I will use in future. See link below, Doves.

May God Bless you, Gino. And all the Doves.
