..And to think that as a "newbie" I almost quit this list because of all the bickering that had been going on ! I would have missed not only Janet's exquisite writing but this insightful story from Chuck! I have heard of two other definitions for the word co-incidents (as janet interpreted the spelling!) - it is God's way of remaining anonymous. - it is the universe caught in the act of rhyming (with a drumroll by the Great Conductor ) Thank you to you both.
