@_F_B_G_@Andy_Coates I didn't get beyond the headline in The G. I must get back and read the editorial. The response you speak of is one that I encounter time and again in my ministry of occasional offices. At some stage I trust it will bear fruit but I have no idea in what way.

@andrewswalks She sounds like a super-mother to me. And how wise of her to choose your pond to raise her brood. Do you know how many survived until winter?

From swift action as a strong Messiah
Casting the very demons back to hell
To slow pain, and death as a pariah.
