Maybe you will follow this up and tell us what's going on.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">Tangent: I had hoped that you would respond to my post about the failure of the end of the world to occur as Jesus, Paul and many others since have taught it was happening now.
