Proud monthly supporter of WORLD WILDLIFE FUND, Proud monthly supporter of New Life Live! Radio Ministries. Maybe I'm just proud, period, hmmmmm... that could be a problem. I'm in my 40's but have only been online for 5 years. I am relatively new to the ravages of the internet, and am a slow, plodding, methodical person, rather like a tortoise, so please be patient with me.

I would rather attempt to do something and fail than attempt to do nothing and succeed - Dr. Robert Schuller, Sr. Also, a guest preacher at a church said 'BE NOT ENAMOURED OF MAN, BE ENAMOURED OF GOD." I try to remember that edict/adage, but it's really hard considering there are men like PATRICK WILSON here on earth! LOL
