Hi Don,

So nice of you to share that with everyone. (I'm almost embarassed.)

In life we have to learn to conquer our fears of one kind or another. Today though heights do bother me, I try not to let them be my primary focus. I'm more afraid of other things, and in particular, people.

Airplanes in the majority make it where they are intending to go, mountains are fairly solid, so though I don't like hanging ten off of them, I can be fairly certain the way down is like the way up. But with people, you have no idea what is coming next.

The words, "Trust in God" weren't said for no good reason. Its a warning. The people who are supposed to protect and defend us, take care of when we are sick, or a dozen other things aren't very responsible anymore. There are more sharks in the ponds these days. The greatest problem is how to recognise a shark when you see one. Its tough. That's why serial killers are hard to find because they look just like ordinary people.

I got some very good advise from my numerologist when I consulted with him about changing my name. He told me before I went gaga over someone in the future to get to know them for four months. He said if I kept my emotions in check and "listened" and "watched the body language" in four months I'd know everything I needed to know.

Now I just need a subject to study. LOL
