FIRST, I found only one grammical error in the opening post (not that I am qualified to grade you - but I usually cant stand reading something someone tried to write as I am **** about grammer and spelling).

The point is, YOU can WRITE, and write very well given your age.

SECOND, your observations sound like those of, again, someone much older.

I, too, can attest to the "gift" of the unanswered prayer (or the prayer answered with 'no'). I intend to copy your post and place it on my other home on the internet: www.thespaceport.us this will result in a very interesting discussion over there!!!!
