     Chasing rainbows
          In the dark

* I REMEMBER ONE 'EASTER' HEARING THIS WONDERFUL PASSAGE WHEREIN, CHRIST JESUS, JUST BEFORE HE WAS CRUCIFIED TURNED HIS EYES UNTO HEAVEN AMID THE JOY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SAID, 'FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT YOU HAVE REVEALED TRUE WISDOM UNTO BABES AND SUCKLINGS, AND BLINDED THE EYES IN THOSE WHOM THINK THEMSELVES TO BE WISE.' THUS, SWEET BEAUTIFUL ELIZABETH, I DO BELIEVE THAT I DO SEE WHAT YOUR BEAUTY HAS SOOO PROFOUNDLY SPOKEN WITHIN A TORCHFULS WAY. QUITE CREATIVE IN EXCELLENT. MY LOVE, RACHEL *
