Thanks, Bro.  Though I do wish you'd keep my backside out of it.  Smile.

Roberta,

Very excellently said. Paul? You listen to what she has to say. We too  are
entering, or just now, embarking on the repercussions of some financial
issues, which unlike you, I saw them coming, in fact I felt God warning me
against them months and months ago,  and yet, I am still in the situation.
So, does that make me bad? No. That makes me trying to live balanced with a
focus towards a general direction. Did I miss my goals regarding finances?
Yes, very much so.  Our little catch phrase of "Debt Free in 2003" has
turned into "Debt No More in 2004" I dislike  having need to change that
phrase from the original just as I hate to buy larger geans to accommodate
lazy eating habits. So, the disappointment I have is now  motivation and
not condemnation, saying I have hope and not "I'm a dope", saying "I'll get
out" and not sit and pout, and rather than watch the mid-range keep on
growing, I'mna do something about it, both financially and physically. So
don't beat yourself up, just use wisdom from here out, praying about what
to do, and you'll come out on the backside just fine.
