Gandalf the Grey and Helen/Mark,

I'm glad you two have cleared up your vocabulary differences. *smiles happily* It would indeed be intriguing to be able to include you, Helen, in the interesting discussions I have with Gandalf, who quite won the respect and admiration of my husband and children during a visit this past July.

Your reference to the Sabbath is intriguing, Gandalf, because I had not considered that, but was rather inspired by your post to think of the passage from Ecclesiastes about a time for every purpose under Heaven, and the passage from Matthew 6 about the lilies of the field, "So do not be anxious about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself."

PS. Sorry, I have no time to write more, for I have just returned from a four hour trip picking my children up from camp and now must take a two hour trip taking my mother-in-law home.
