Tonight I sit here and wonder about my life, so I came up with these thoughts,  not if,  but when I leave this earthly body and approach the gates of heaven,  I will be met by St Peter,  I am sure, he will ask me a question like "what did you do with your life?"  Since I have had time to think this out, I will answer, "I was a friend"  then he will ask "what do you want to do here" and I am going to ask to talk to God.  St Peter will tell me that God is busy, I am sure, but I will insist, as I always do, "What do you want to talk with God about?",  "my feriends",  I will answer. Ushered into the Holy presense of God, am I afraid, NO,  I have planned this all out, so I will ask God to find the person on  earth that knows the cure for cancer and "let it be known to all", have faith ladies and it shall be done.  I do this for you all, because you are my friends.   Fanciful thoughts?  who knows?   Marty
