yikes! I just noticed that bradford dropped his fifty-cent-piece into the hopper while I only added two cents. brad, you are the encourager and I think the world would be a sadder, meaner place without you. So after reading what brad wrote, I'd say that it was more well thought-out and grounded than mine was. brad has the mind and heart of a pastor; my heart and mind are more like an old rusty plow in the middle of a Kansas soybean field. it's funny that we ended up saying sorta the same thing. plow on! I mean, don't plow on... pastor on or...bad metaphor.... nevermind
