Amazing!<BR/><BR/>Carleen, let's someday soon have some Orange Mint & Honey tea and talk.<BR/><BR/>Usman, I think of you often and wonder how you and yours are coping. Personally, I've always wanted to go to war, to have my metal tested, but I would find it unbearable to live among it with m family.

But after dying and then coming back, it's something I live with always. I certainyl don't fear it, but I'm aware it will be. Doesn't it help to know that in some strange way? Find peace and contentment in the prayer garden. That's about the most wonderful concept I've heard of all year.<BR/><BR/>Larramie, excellent idea: buy yet a third copy of Matters of Faith for a family member!Amy MacKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046229425863274840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-72362201543958124072008-08-05T13:32:00.000-04:002008-08-05T13:32:00.000-04:00Life happens.

Hmm, now why does this remind me of <I>Tethered</I>?<BR/><BR/>As for the post, Amy, it was my way of thanking you for writing/giving so much of yourself in an incredible novel. And others needed to know, allowing them to respect as well as relate.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
