And everything I describe between Him and I is my personal and human interpretation, which is subject to human frailty and mistakes. Always seek confirmation through scripture and the personal direct line of communication with the Boss Man.

Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,

2 Corinthians 5:10
[10] For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
