au contraire, it will be due to all californians jumping at the same time.

There'd be a solution to that, dear lady, if we weren't so geographically separated: go halves on the cost, and work on learning it together...Viola said:I can read some, and hope to get better. As far as speaking it, its the only language I really want to learn. Unfortunately I have the proverbial tin ear. And that Rosetta stone program looks really good but that's $$$.

Believing in only your own power leads to tragedy. Prayer could of healed this woman possibly and saved them all.
People need the Lord.
Now the question I am going to ask is was this mans fault or God?

HoosierDaddy said:It seems to me that it is in our nature to want to pass fault along to anything else except ourselves. Guilt can be a powerful thing. So much so that dealing with it without understanding of how it has already been passed along spiritually is what often causes hopelessness....or our own demise in many different ways. Pride...self ego...can keep us locked in our own stubborn sense of how to evaluate,handle,or percieve things. The idea of...coming to something as "little children" opposes our ego. Guilt finally reflects back on us with few options.
Many times...a change of mind...doesn't result from proof positive...but from an awakening spurred by allowing ourselves to look beyond self.
The starving of the world could be fed by us all... easily....
We could all see the reason for God paying for our debt..easily...
if it wasn't for our self....or more specifically..selfishness,IMHO.

And for personal experiences: I've had too many things go my way that just should not have for it to be luck, or coincidence. Call it karma, or fate, or God (as I believe), but there is no question in my mind that something is taking very good care of me for some reason, probably better care than I deserve...
But you'd be surprised at how much "lack of skill" a lot of will can make up for... linguistics is a slow field for me as well, I tend to have problems due to my weak short-term memory. Besides, speaking for myseelf at least, the effort would sure be fun...Viola said:That'd be fun, but you can't underestimate my lack of talent in that area. Most of what I know I learned before I was eight, the rest has a hard time sticking. [huh]
