Right, but the headers in my instance definitely confirmed that I had |
| 12 |
been blocked by my ISP. Also, e-mails that I had personally sent to |
| 13 |
people I know were getting bounced. But thanks for the tip! |

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people |
| 20 |
for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him |
| 21 |
who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were |
| 22 |
not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received |
| 23 |
mercy, but now you have received mercy. ~1 Peter 2:9-10 |
