[Faith-talk] Daily Thought for Thursday, March 13, 2014

[Paul]

Debbie, in my opinion that wasn't too long at all.  I can't speak for others 
on this list, but I enjoyed your post.  As a boy growing up in York County 
PA we attended occasionally a very small Catholic church in Cardiff, MD 
called St. paul's, and when the bell was rung it practically shook the 
little church to its foundations.  Paul
