Shalom Hepzibah, your faith is laudatory but your words are a bit warm, fuzzy and gooey for my taste. Maybe if you add a few adjectives I would be able to comprehend. For example, how about;

God our Farther is a loving, caring and protective Father, whose love for all of His mutilated (as in de-limbed), beaten to death, leper infected, HIV positive, despised by parents, abandoned, and starved to death children never ceases. He is the most caring of all parents.

Yah, that's a bit better. But it still doesn't do justice to the children I lived with for years in my mother's dispensary in Nigeria, but what the hell, as long as I'm allowed my fantasy, you have the right to yours.

Shalom aleichem, dear Hepzibah or do you mean Hep(h)zibah. Literally, peace to "she whom my delight is in". It is a lovely and gentle name. By its usage do you refer symbolically to Jerusalem or literally the wife of Hezekiah and mother of the evil Manasseh. If the later, I stand humbled before the mother that has seen all manner of sorrows and suffering and my former post was in bad taste even if literally true.
