That may be.  If Mike S. had seen what was coming do you think he would
have tried "cleaning his side of the street" too?  I think He has given
Robert a tremendous gift.  Not all of us have much of a chance to make
amends before He calls us to Him.  And that is putting about as much of
a "postive spin" on the situation as I can.  What Robert's going through
still sucks but I have to admire him for reaching out after all these
years.  He's posted a lot of hateful, hurtful things.  You and Pete
should read the story of "the prodigal son" again.  I figure Robert's
been about as "prodigal" as you can get.  I just hope Pete has a good
French translation.  :-)
