Lelia,

God bless you for your tenderness toward the things of God and for listening
to his voice.

I agree with Phil's comments in that people can say whatever.  But it's not
an easy situation to manage the practical side on, as two blind people
considering transportation issues, etc.  Praying that God will make a way
for you where there seems to be no way.

Before John and I got married, he had to give up his apartment.  He lived
with my folks for about a month.  Also gave them a chance to know him
better.  So there was a good side to it even though not easy.

Vicki
