Guest guest Posted November 3, 1999 Report Share Posted November 3, 1999 Dear Janpa, Your response below embodied the heart of compassion. I bow to you. In taking the time and heart to look thru another's eyes, you not only clear up misunderstandings beautifully, you do it in a way that inspires fellowship, rather than divides it.
