Love -N- the Lottery

Rick held a winning ticket and a flame

He said, “Dear, I love you more than this claim!”

Just before he set fire

She charged with a live wire

And soon a wealthy widow she became

hahaha, your comment about star trek made me laugh. WEll, I think viewing earth before coming here must have been a bit like Star Trek. I believe we all have the ability to simply "think" of where we want to go and we will be there (something we surely will relearn upon our return home). It's the only explanation for how God is able to be so many places and his angels too!!
