Never give in because despair is a sin. It means you have lost your faith. A good write here. God Bless, JB

Great work, Bob. Sure to be a winner. Have you read my blog? PT wants me to stay off the computer as much as possible; says it's adding to the disc problems. Best wishes in the contest, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
