There is no pit so deep, that God is not deeper still....Corrie ten Boom
I am somewhat familiar with her story. But having last read her biography in High School, I thank you for recounting it. It is a great comfort to know that such people exist. Without question a very righteous lady.
I read Corrie Ten Bloom’s book. It was wonderful.
