It's nice that your community is in an area to have such help. While your community continue to remain as you say inaudible whispers. Then I must end with a note in favor of those who can to support those who cannot. So I pass the plate, to the next available person with the dough.Marie Cecilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038456269137125594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16432506.post-1156783417399847912006-08-28T12:43:00.000-04:002006-08-28T12:43:00.000-04:00Not so in our community.

I had one person, who by the way has the wealth, complain about not being able to reach a Priest when they call, but was told that the Priest would get back to them, which this one mentioned did not. For some reason this came to mind when writing. Little did I know this also encompasses the lay people too, who are famous, or wealthy and seek to keep people away from them.Marie Cecilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038456269137125594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16432506.post-1156773763392309992006-08-28T10:02:00.000-04:002006-08-28T10:02:00.000-04:00Oh boy do I know where you're coming from!
