Okay, angelo, I'm not going to argue. Whatever your story is...no one can force you to believe one way or the other.

I believe as I do for a variety of reasons. I believe that God has a plan for me. I have an inkling what it is, but deep down it's not really what I want. Even when I tried to stray from His purpose, he put me back on the road. These are details that people on this board don't know and have nothing to do with my Catholicism, but incidents that tell me I was meant to be in the possition I am in now. I definitely would not have chosen the path I am taking. In fact, I tried to quit twice. Do you have any idea what it's going to take on Saturday morning (yes this coming Saturday) to walk out on a stage and sing before judges for the Metropolitan Opera? I would not have chosen this. But too many things have steered me to this. And without Him, I wouldn't have gotten this far.

I believe in Christ and His word and works because His way is to treat others with dignity, no matter who they are or their station in life. I also believe that the Father has enough of a sense of humor to send the world what they weren't expecting, but someone who would get the job done nonetheless. And the miracles don't hurt, either.

My beliefs or ANYTHING else I do in my life (except my hair color) are my own. I answer to God - no one else. There at least we can agree.

Little clue - check out the 60-100 years of local history prior to incidents in question. See if you don't see a pattern.

I don't like where you are going with this, so let's just drop it, okay?

Yep.

I hadn't heard. I wish you the all the best.

Shalom.
