Phil and Everyone,

Yes, unfortunately, life is different now.

People can't always be trusted and their word isn't worth what they say it is.

I'm not talking about everyone. I'll hopefully be able to show you some
examples in a few days.

That brings me to a prayer request that I'll bring up in another message
and it does concern trusting people.

I like the messages I've red on this thread.

Lovingly,
Pat Ferguson
