I appreciate your good sentiments, Rick.  

Actually, though, none of the recent posting has been about a disagreement 
between Lee and myself.  Lee simply happened to be one of the brothers who 
responded to my recent remarks, and in so doing, I'm sure he voiced some of 
the strong feelings that others also share.

The goal, however is not the immediate feelings, but the continued growth in 
each of our lives.  May all good seed produce its own good fruit in good time.

As to the HC thing, I'd have to agree with what Bruce just said in his post. 
 In the context of discussing the things that matter to each of us, we may end 
up touching on most anything.  

But the active participation of brethren such as you and Lee in the group may 
often help to keep the whole list on track.  Thanks for sharing your heartfelt 
remarks.

Jim
