My boyfriend is a fan of your music. Thank you so much for talking about this! I am also a rape victim and know all about how people try to deny it, but people need to be believed or else their souls just do not heal. Thank you so much!

God isn't constrained to thinking as any one of us do, but I hope the Creator will not think me blasphemous by saying that I hope this guy makes it into heaven...not real soon...but when his comes, I am really hoping that his elevator goes UP..because, if not, I know mine will have trouble finding that direction.

Bless you, Peter. There might be room for another saint by that name.
