Thank you for the FR, Enoch. Although I haven't left any comments on your articles, I do enjoy reading them and I feel a bit more centered for the effort. I have noticed that Hiram and you, both, drop the "o" in God (and also, apparently "Lord"), as well. Did I miss the memo?
Enoch...thank you so much for the FR. You are one of the few inspirations that I have found on NV. It seems you bring out the best in us even when we don't think it's there.
Enoch, thanks for adding me as a friend.
Enoch, many thanks for the invite.........que Dios te bendiga siempre!
