I got this in an e-mail today. You might think it's kind of hokey. But it's really not. I'm not a religion pusher, or very religious myself but I thought it was good. Now...don't run away from me Ratrap!
I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own! , but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things. I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea --------------------  |

I been having the really low energy times with this heart lately. It's discouraging. And my lungs are filling with fluid. Up and down. One step forward and two steps back. -------------------- |

David Eddings: About a boy finding his magical Power and fate. With funny chars. A thief, ranger etc. Knights.
Raymond E. Feist: Same :P But different somehow hehe I like stories about Mages, thieves, knights, love :P lots of fun. And it must be a long story. Eddings story is ... 12 books long, Raymonds 24 so far. -------------------- |

24 so far would certainly qualify as a long story!
I like the old stuff. Steinbeck's my favorite. How are you doing this morning? -------------------- |

Reminds me of something I wanted to ask you about.
Wouldn't some sort of brace on your back help? -------------------- |
