[Faith-talk] o clear things up

[Debby Phillips]

Naryann, Changing subject lines is not easy for me either, depending on what technology I am using. You are right when you say we should be civilized with one another. And perhaps we need to respectfully acknowledge that we come at things differently but that we have much in common. There are times when I have felt useless to society, too. I would like to pursue this, but I have almost arrived at my destination so will write more about this later.  Blessings,  Debby
