Thanks, Roger! I am all for free speech, and I like sharing my faith, but
unless it applies to text I am working on somehow, I prefer it below my name so
people can stop there. You've had some interesting quotes, whether I agree or
not, but I usually only need to read them once to be impacted by them.
Happy New Year!
Valerie
