HiPhil,

I love that!

I do the same thing.

I ask Holy Spirit to show me how to do things, or to help me find something.

He always does help me!

I've never had Holy Spirit not show me something when I have asked.

I'm Praying to God that you will get your feeling back in your 
fingers and hands.

I'm praying for you and Sandy, Daily!


Thanks much.

Many Blessings,

Pat Ferguson
