I realize that some of you find religion a hoax, and certainly most of the organized ones fall into that category.

That said, when I consider how Florence and I met in the Blizzard of 83, carried on a romance separated by over 500 miles, how a job offer and the attendant H1B visa materialized, along with the possibility of taking early retirement from a job that was getting boring, I simply feel there was a heck of a lot more than coincidence in it. When her lymph glands swole so terribly and they were thinking - cancer, and she wanted me not to come. I said I was coming for the 3 or 5 years we might have. I found myself on my knees in a little church asking Him to intervene. Well the swelling went away and so far we have had the 29 happiest years of our lives and looking forward to more. So maybe it was all just co-incidence, but you will never convince us.
