Crazy world we live in. When the devil sinks his teeth in. But God will not be mocked and will have the final laugh. I would not want to be on the receiving end of God’s wrath. Be blessed, dear one!

Well, if God is wroth with us, at least He's still paying attention... Once we're in the devil's grip, we're like cast-offs and cast-outs. ~ Gershon

We used to worry about the uneducated Americans; now we have to monitor the educated ones...

Aha.. I got it… I’m now educated, amused and bemused… in equal measure.

I gave up the gasp, why? I dont think people care about anyone but themselves anymore, in the main! Yes there are caring people, you and Iknow who they are! PANGIE BTW,, suggestion I would have put a definition for imprimatur. Unless one knows Latin or has a college degree they will not understand this not know what it means PR,

Wow. You really nailed your comment... Two comments above this one a great fellow wrote that he'd have to google 'another Gershon word.' I ought to listen to you more...

I’m intrigued but more hopeful perhaps.

Good for you. I'm so jaded that my face was sold at a 'rare gems' auction. ~ A Sucker is born every day, they say
