I cannot be there wednesday with you, however I will very much be with you in spirit. And if by chance you see Steere and he stumbles a little, thats just my little wish for " A good swift kick in the butt " coming true!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 To my lovely sisters, This takes a while to download, but if you have the time (and the patience) you should check it out. I can really apply a lot of these things to my life now with this illness. I'm sure you all can too, so I thought I'd share. http://www.theinterviewwithgod.com/windowmovie.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
