    John, you live up to your name, which if you did not know, means "Gift of God" and truly you do my friend in Christ Jesus. We are never alone, unless we do not know Him and have received Him unto ourselves. Blessings & thumbs up. Happy Thanksgiving too, to you and I am thankful for you. In fact, I thank God for you & your writings. Giving hope to the hopeless. : - )
