Dear Andrew,

I will be praying for you, that The Lord will provide comfort, 
wisdom, and strength,  for you, and that you will have better self-esteme.

I feel  that it is a good idea to use that white cane any time you 
are in public, and that includes Church. <smile> Just my thoughts. <smile>

Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
