Thanks, Virgie, and to everyone else here. If there was ever a time when I
need an army of brothers and sisters in Christ to support me, it's now. As I
stated earlier, I'm ready to scream, or tear my hair out. I know that's
irrational, but the enemy's having a field day. By the way, another miracle
occurred last night. I actually slept again. In all this trial, God's
revealed His hand to me, if you get my point here. I don't feel as alone as
I usually would, since I know He's with me.
