Joan - What a blessing you are - not only to Don, but to all of us, whether we have PD or a CG. Yes - some of us (I'm a CG, of sorts) turn to our religious beliefs to keep going and find that faith is the best answer for us. Some refute that theory, and turn to complaining and criticizing. I think the best thing is for any of us, no matter whether we believe or not, to not "put down" those who do not agree with us. There will always be diverse opinions and I'm very proud that John C and Barbara P don't cut us off at the pass, and allow us to express ourselves. We just want to make sure we don't get into flaming and there have been a few times when it would have easy for me to do that. Post some more. We love it.
