Welcome aboard. It's good to meet a fellow conservative Republican Christian. You can count on me for support and encouragement here in this lion's den.
Can you elaborate, what parts of the universe do you think of first when you consider the Lord's virtuous and just nature?
Praise!
I'm glad to see another believer in these forums as well.
