They can be lost.  Proof?  Look at what the &#8220;economic collapse&#8221; of recent months and years has done to some portfolios.

For many of us, when we encounter someone worshiping the Lord in a way that is new to us, rather than deeming it &#8220;new,&#8221; &#8220;exciting,&#8221; or &#8220;encouraging,&#8221; we simply see it as &#8220;odd.&#8221;  I know [...]]]></description>
