(...) Always appreciated! (...) Ouch. Math was never my best subject. Fixed now though. I think. Let's see: 2/3 + 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 2.

By "most recent installment", I assume you're referring to the Teachings of Jesus stuff from a month ago and not any of the many King Saul stories I've done since then, yes? I suppose the George W.
