Dear Smiley,
Perhaps I am being too serious but ...
Marsha Von Gruben said she takes "the ‘go forth and multiply’ gospel very seriously.” The rest of the sentence in Genesis 1:28 (KJV) states "... and replenish the earth, and subdue it." Have we subdued the earth by now or is there more to be done? Are we replenishing it or depleting it?
Yours truly,
