WHO KNOWS MUCH MORE ABOUT THIS

THAN I DO.

JUST THINK ABOUT IT, OKAY?

IN OUR FAITH,

THERE'S A LONG HISTORY

OF THESE VERY SPECIAL MOMENTS.

AND GOD HAS FREQUENTLY CHOSEN

THE MOST UNEXPECTED PERSON

TO CARRY THEM THROUGH.

IT'S A REAL,

A REAL PRIVILEGE, DEAN.

WELL, IF IT'S SO REAL,

WHY DOESN'T IT ALWAYS WORK?

AH, WELL,

THERE'S A DUAL VIEW HERE.

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD,

BUT GOD MAY NOT WANT TO GIVE YOU
