Rhonda 1,
I know what you mean about one of those "show me" people.  I am a lot that 
way.  Many would tell you that I am gullible.  Well, I am somewhat both and 
at the same time somewhere in between.  I will go the 2nd and 3rd mile with 
people and give them every opportunity but once you have violated my trust, 
then I am suspicious and want to some evidence.  I just had a situation with 
my grand daughter.  You all will remember how  we were reunited after twenty 
years ago just October of 2004. After talking with her and visiting with her 
a bit, I began to wonder if she was just using me and thinking that maybe I 
was her rich grandfather.  I refused to believe that though there were a 
number of things to make me think it more.  In January of 2005, I got a 
family plan for my cell phone and added her to it.  A month or two later I 
helped her to get her high school diploma at a price of $250.00.  She 
couldn't get a job without it, she said. Anyway, a long story short, (did I 
hear someone say short?) after many things and many prrofs to me that she 
didn't intend to work nor change her life, I took her off my phone.  Now, 
she is in jail for not paying child support.  I will probalbly not hear from 
her again unless i look her up.  Maybe I can visit her in jail and let her 
know that I love her but that I expect something out of her too.  Please 
pray with me for Ivy Michelle.

God give you strength, Phil.
