Miss Vicki,

Hell, as I have been reading your posts, I even get angy! I get a bit philosphical at times (as everyone will atest to here laugh ) but I see the world today in all of it's glory, in all of it's suffering. I wonder why each and every one of us has had to endure one, for some, two, for some and beyond for you. I was once told that God never gives us more than we can handle and I ask Him often if He is sure when it comes to me. He finds ways to affirm my faith in Him: the birth of my children, the new flowers blooming in the spring, waking to the sounds of the baby birds on the roof outside of our bedroom window, meeting all of you! I am so sorry you have had to fight this battle so many times now but you have truly been blessed to have been given that opportunity. May God continue to bless you!
