Karen,

I've thought and prayed on this extensively.  I feel God wantes me in this 
job to minister to those who need Him.  No, I don't overtly mention God, but 
i do get help for many who need it and do abide by Christian principles.  I 
know not all on the list agree with how I go about my job and that's OK.  
God puts us where he puts us for a reason.
