George W. Bush was out walking when he saw Moses.
"Hey, Moses! STOP!!" he yelled. But Moses walked on, ignoring him. After a few blocks, Bush caught up with him. "Moses, why didn't you stop and talk to me?" asked Bush. "Well,"

Moses replied, "the last time I talked to a bush, I wandered the desert for 40 years."

My response to your comment. Thanks much.

Jim, without hope I have no reason to continue. I believe in the sanctity of the human spirit and feel we cheat ourselves when it is not used to the fullest. And to me it hurts to see people suffer from their own poor choices. I wonder has the woman given thought to her choice to call her "friends" but not her boyfriend? Has she considered how her friends let her down. Can she see a need to make better choices in who she associates with and to always carry her ID when in public.

I apologize; missed your ping until now. Licensed Evangelical Minister; practicing Christ believing, Goddess believing Gnostic. Kinda of a paradox. I stand on God said it that settles it, and yes I can make a scriptural case for both the Goddess and Gnosticism.

Forgive my tardy reply. Thanks for the ping.
