It's taking forever to post a comment now. If you want us to shut up and go away, no further action is required. :-) view Aniko's profile | Ping Aniko Lonnie F., Sep 18, 2009, 8:39AM EDT Cary-- I commented on the post thread but wanted to be sure you knew I thank you for reading and commenting. Another gather writer once commented on another post of mine that '' religion is merely the vehicle that gets us to God." God above and beyond all. Lonnie view Lonnie's profile | Ping Lonnie top
