Hi Phil,
I haven't read most messages, but started aat the bottom of the list and saw 
yours.  How did you hear that about Art Bell?
    I have actually appreciated him at times, because  in spite of all the 
crazies he had on, I many times sensed a searching heart in the man, and a 
heart of compassion.  I have prayed for him on a number of occasions.
