Thanks Kathy. I talked to phil off list via e-mail to check out somethings I descerned and he confirmed them. So I to agree with you. I would tell him now that God may have a reason for you to have no children and if that is what God wants he should be happy with it. Kids in today's world I fell sorry for. and be glad God has blessed you with none. I know he would not like this but honesty is the best policy. -- Prayer is the bridge between panic and peace.
