Thanks for that encouraging poem, Rhonda, and keep us informed about your 
pastor.

Back nearly 4 years ago, when I had my spinal surgery, I spoke to a woman 
who was a lady who had her hair done by the same lady who cuts my hair, what 
is left, that is, and she had fallen off the roof like that.  She had 15 
surgeries and got out of the wheelchair she had to be in as a result.  She 
encouraged me a lot about the type of spinal surgery I was getting ready to 
have.  I still have problems with some things but I'm 60 years old now, too, 
so everything is a little different, haha.
