Many thanks again for all the kind messages. Love and kindness to you all.
Outlaw, let's see how strong my resolve is! This place is certainly magnetic. I feel a verse or two coming on (from The Message just because it is Sylvia's favourite),
Matthew 5:36-37 (The Message)
Empty Promises
33-37 "And don't say anything you don't mean. This counsel is embedded deep in our traditions. You only make things worse when you lay down a smoke screen of pious talk, saying, 'I'll pray for you,' and never doing it, or saying, 'God be with you,' and not meaning it. You don't make your words true by embellishing them with religious lace. In making your speech sound more religious, it becomes less true. Just say 'yes' and 'no.' When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong.
Blessings in Christ,
Stephen
