Our survey had 1,010 respondents. \u00a0Only one was The Lord.<\/h3>\n

Our survey was live for many months and when we finally deactivated the link we had 1,010 respondents completing at least some portion. \u00a0I was pleasantly surprised that with 61 items -including 19 open-ended and\/or follow-up questions- so many people gave\u00a0their time to do the survey and took the effort in many cases to compose very thoughtful narrative responses.<\/p>\n

Some respondents were more serious than others. \u00a0None more so than The Lord. \u00a0Below are some of His responses.<\/p>\n
