* Did you know that the inspiration for "Mercy Said No" came to Greg when he was in church one Sunday morning?  "The pastor was talking about how we deserve the worst--all that life and death without Christ is--but instead we get heaven," he says. "Right in the nick of time, when Satan thought he had won, Mercy came in and stopped the evil; Christ came through for our redemption.  When the pastor said, ‘Mercy said NO,’ I was totally enveloped in that thought. I think it’s incredibly comforting, but it also has somewhat of an awakening element that reminds us of how much we have to be thankful for."
