thoughtful remarks on your part. uncommon these days. are you french? is your neighbior mormon? anyway, civility is a good thing. pray for it! thanks. i happen to be of german descent and a deserving recipient of kraut jokes. oh well. this life is not all there is. the Christ, whom some folks would do more than pee on, lives.
Christ lives and - even for those who do not believe in him - he manages to shine through the mist and fog of this world and can present himself in glory and beauty. (Sorry for sneaking in another popular interpretation.)
