Been in the same place over 30 yrs. You're are, indeed, very fortunate. And, yes, prayer does work. I don't know how we would have made it through all this if it had not been for prayer and church. Having said that, we are not religious fanatics, but we do have very strong Christian beliefs, a wonderful minister, and a congregation we're very happy to be a part of. -- Wayne Boatwright *¿* ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day.
