Thanks to both of you, and your assistants, for getting this forum back up and running.
It's easy to become complacent; when the site is down we all realize how much we've missed it.

I could spend eternity exploring the universe and its beauty...
thanks for allowing me to share that love of God's creation with all of Free Republic.
Thanks for posting these. It is the post I look at first.
