[CALIBK12] The Case for a Creator...Lee Strobel

[Headley Vicki]

That is not our responsibility.  We are not their parents.   We do not set

an emergency or disaster situation.  We are not allowed to abandon the
children and go take care of our own even if the disaster/situation extends
beyond the working  day.
