It was very icy today. Walking was very treacherous.
At one house, there was a slight hill. When I was
praying to get down it safely, a gentleman stopped
his car and came to my assistance. The Lord sends
angels in all kinds of disguises. I am safely home.

------------------------------
Calligraphy
Many years ago my wife, a knitting expert, designed
exotic patterns with ease.
There was an occasion when we had lunch in a real
Chinese restaurant (only one person spoke partial
English, all menus were in Chinese).
When she saw the handwritten menu she was so impressed
with the calligraphy she tucked it in her purse.
Some months later I saw the result - a stunning white
sweater with the Chinese symbols hand-stitched down the
front.
She received compliments galore until at one party when
we met a distinguished Chinese physician who asked my
wife where she got the symbols. He then wanted to know
if she knew what they meant.
"I'm afraid to ask," she said, "but tell me anyway."
Even she had to laugh when he told her they read, "This
is a cheap dish - but good."

gineering breakthrough.

ing easy at his agricultural auction site
*Romeo and Juliet avoid tragic problems by keeping

the world.
