nets or peril or sword or tor that matter bullets in Rhodesia and Zambia As it is written For your sake we are in danger of death the whole day long Not In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved For we Donald end Helen Sinclair are fully persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor things present nor things to come nor powers nor height nor depth nor anything all creation is able to separate us nor our beloved daughter from the love of God In Christ Jesus our Lord It was a simple but beautiful service and for those who to mourn there was
