Cuz, I read you every time you write but don't reply to much to the group because I don't have anything to add. I pray this will be a good season for you and I have prayed for your loss this year. But I believe everything is for a reason. My wife and I have had an eventful year. We moved back to the Columbus area to be near our son due to our failing heath. (I have had 12 operations since 2006 because of an operation that went bad), My family was told three times on different occassions I would not made it through the night. But I did by God's grace and doctors that would not quit trying. Since I have written 4 books including my Autobiography which includes some of my line. All are on Amazon and Appointment with Destiny (Autobiography) will be added soon since it has just been released. My, my, I just wanted to say Hello and wish you a merry Christmas.

Keep the Christmas spirit anyway!    Have a good!   one!
