from he pointed otrtthat tjagarrteligtons like the religion of early egypt asked this question and failed to find any reasonable answer the simplest and most sublime answer is found in the first chapter of genesis which teaches us that god created the heaven and the earth the earth was without form and void and this is true of many lives today which do not know the power of god as the spirit of god moved upon the water so can it move upon our lives today and make living worthwhile the light that came to the earth when god said let there be light and there was light can shine upon our lives today and bring peace and comfort to our hearts wauwpir regularly priced front 40 to 70 for each roll with inarching border purchased crt the reg ular price you receive an iidatt roll for on
