Well...I've heard of a goose being silly...as in a person who was sort of
well... off!
But I like your example better, so...I don't mind being compared to a
goose...
*smile*
Thanks for the prayers, they are our strength...that's for sure!

Rhonda1,
Catching up with email here I very much agree with the recognition of your
continually running to god in such times. Man, it took me like six years
of facing blindness, near financial ruin, and a marriage about to be
trashed before I turned that way. Speaking of goose bumps, or geese in
general. You remind me of a goose. What! You say? Hahaha yep a goose. Not
that you have a long neck or honk around the house or anything haha,
little levity there, but isn't it a goose that will stay with a mate for
life no matter what? In fact while migrating, if one of the geese takes
ill on the travels, another goose, presumably the mate if it has one, will
sacrifice it's own well being and leave the flock and support the one in
need. So in that respect you remind me of a goose. You are an extremely
strong woman, even though no you don't feel like it perhaps, but it is
quite evident on this side of the net. Ben is in the best personal and
loving care at home there as he can have. Now he'll get the medical help
to get him more stable and we'll see what god has in store to get him
whole. Hopefully my goose analogy isn't too off, but it just came to mind
and off the fingertips it went *smile*. Praying for you and Ben both.
