I Wish I Could Tell People

I am not the high priestess of David. I am not the conduit through which you communicate with him, nor am I the interpreter of his pronouncements, thoughts, plans, or actions. Think of him as a more accessible being, whom you can address directly. But keep in mind that he is not omniscient nor omnipotent (sorry David).
