Please forgive me cause I really did not come here to read your post and comments at this time. I simply came because I wanted to indirectly apologize to Anchoress for not recognizing what an angel she really is but wouldn't you know "IT", being the angel that she is, she showed us her controlled modesty which only angels like her, I think can muster by closing her comment box.<br /><br />Thank you for your patience in putting up with this comment and who knows some day I might find that you are as much an angel as Anchoress would want U>S to believe.<br /><br />God Bless all HIS unsung Angels in disguise.<br /><br />Peace Dear JENNIFER!

Thank you for your patience in putting up with this comment and who knows some day I might find that you are as much an angel as Anchoress would want U>S to believe.

God Bless all HIS unsung Angels in disguise.

I read it when you wrote it back in May and have continued to think about it every time I question God's purpose in day-to-day events. I left a link to it on someone else's blog (<a HREF="http://www.preschoolersandpeace.com/" REL="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Preschoolers and Peace</a>) today because I think it fit with the conversation there. Jen,

Thank you for this post. I read it when you wrote it back in May and have continued to think about it every time I question God’s purpose in day-to-day events. I left a link to it on someone else’s blog (Preschoolers and Peace) today because I think it fit with the conversation there.
