It's a shame you're so far away ... I'd love to loan you a half-dozen kids to solve your quiet problem :-). And I'll pray about your job situation. It's a bummer this time of year. To cheer yourself up, you can think of Saddam Hussein cowering in a hole in the ground, and those immortal words, "How can I urinate when my people are in bondage?"

For your difficulty with prayer, I suggest the Psalms. Choose one to suit your mood, and imagine you made it up in your own head to speak to the Lord. You can't go wrong with the Psalms!

Cheers,
Xy

Apparently, that is too rough for the ears of even the cable TV audience.
Britt Hume's version of what Hussein said was, "How can I go to the bathroom when my people are in bondage?"  LOL  I'm not making that up.

"How can I urinate when my people are in bondage?"

The man has the soul of a poet, I swear. Or perhaps a restroom attendant. I can see how having one's something-else in bondage can keep one from urinating . . .

It's been a LOOOONG time since I actually read out of my Bible. Far too long.

Thanks, TC!
