Hello Kelly Thanks for your reply. No doubt, you're a very energetic woman! My question, is, do you use your energy in the right way? Your fight seems to me a quite unequal fight and I am wondering whether if you make the balance between the spent energy on one side and the little result on the other, the balance is for you positive enough. If not, you're just getting exhausted, like you seem to suggest yourself. Well I guess I don't really have some alternative, I just am thinking out loud. I just wonder if it's not the time to calm down and to think about some better strategy, however I can't imagine how that should be. Do you sometime do some meditation? I do and it helps me. Oh got to go now. We'll talk about this further on. Send you a hug, Little Pilgrim
If you have an mp3 player, how do you download music? Does it have to be delivered on a CD or flash drive, or do you have access to computers and the internet? Or is there a service that takes your mp3 player and installs songs for you, and then returns it?
Inquiring minds want to know! :-)
I don't really have any suggestions for music to download... my music taste tends toward the Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, Vern Gosdin, end of things, with a sprinkling of Tragically Hip and Econoline Crush thrown in. But I do like the occasional reprieve of Bach, Handel, Mozart, and Chopin every now and then too.
If you have access to internet, you may be able to download podcasts for free, such as The Roadhouse Podcast, which features about an hour of Blues music each week.
3. It´s not proven that near-death experiences are simply a last reaction of the dying brain, to be exact, of the God-spot. A part of scientists believe that, but there are also other scientists - even such who first also believed that - who think completely different.
4. Nope, God doesn´t need us on our knees; he doesn´t need us at all - loves us, but not need us. I personally believe (and it´s completely okay to disagree!) that he wants a close connection. If he always did everything without being asked, men would simply forget him and take everything for granted.
5. The Genesis was probably never taken that literal as it is today by evangelical Christians. I think the main meaning is to tell that the earth didn´t come simply from nothing. But apart from that, I believe the big boss wanted to spare us too much knowledge - about good and bad - because it was clear that if we knew we would do bad things. We´d loose our innocence. And as there can´t be anything bad around God, he simply wanted to protect us from having to leave him.
6. Where would the world be without crusades and burning witches? Well, question vice versa: Where would Kambodscha (I intentionally took the spelling in my own language) be without Pol Pot who tried to kill all religious people as well as all intellectuals?
Hope you´re not angry that I tried to give an answer to the things that seemed the most important to me. I do like your letters and also your drawings since you don´t paint skulls anymore ;-) and I´m looking forward to your next letter. May you and all who comment here (even the ones who dislike me) have a good time and I´m sending good wishes for everyone´s further life.

Athough part of your story seemed to be cut off and that unfortunately was the punch line... so now I have no idea why his legs were so short...
You have the best handwritting!
