Every now and then I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me those are moments that are incredibly joyful.
God preordained for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice a part of the human race without any merit of their own to eternal salvation and another part in just punishment of their sin to eternal damnation.
