<DIV>I don't want to push the analogy too far - but it seems to me that there
are different stones with different purposes in a building. There are
the foundation stones often buried beneath the ground and somewhat rough.
There are keystones in arches which take a huge amount of pressure and whose
role is obvious. And there is the finely carved stones whose use is
decorative. And what about the mortar between the stones. That for
me is where many franciscan types are needed. Unnoticed, ignored,
often hard used but binding the whole together. Any way that's enough
from me John </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
