April,

Sure is good to hear from you.  I know it's not been an easy time.  Praying
for you.  Life sure is full of lessons, isn't it.

God who began a good work in you, will carry it out and complete it.  Can't
find that verse.  It's somewhere in Phillipians.   I'll look up the
reference later, unless someone happens to know it off hand.  Smile.

John's church comment was good.  Hopefully you and the pastor will connect
with your phone tag soon.  Smile.



Hugs,
Vicki
