I don't think I have that much writing in me, lmp. not at the moment, anyway.

I was going to ask you, now that some time has gone by, what the story was (several posts back) about Abraham and Isaac. I was hesitant to ask when you posted that... digging about in someone's open wound not being generally appreciated. But the fire is burning on my own altar, now. This is the second death of this particular hope. Lindo's song about Bird fed Phura's dreams, but they were revealed as empty, lifeless, and vain.

I was happy to write, yesterday. Today? Feh. "And they all died, and their bones rotted on the mountainside, and Tharonwe lived happily ever after."

So, the correct answer is, His arm is not short, His hand is not weak. "The Lord gives, the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Yes or no? "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." Will I? In the light of eternity, this is no big deal. Just a little snag.
