<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Colleagues All including Jo and
Susan--</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> On several occasions
during my 82 years, I found the heat in the kitchen was fueled by my
petulance and guilt. These were times when I decided to run from living in the
kitchen of relationships that generated negative energy and disrespect; the
reason being is that I am the one to do these dastardly deeds. It was at times
lilke this that some one loved me enough to tell me to "suck it
up!."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> OE is in the forgiving
business. I confess it is remarkable how the rational and emotional
temperament of EI/ICA-Order Ecumenical generates a pretty common
consensus methodology. However, don't the contrary views provide worthwhile
insights. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Somewhere along the line, I
remember our stories of the Contrary who lived as a reminder not to suck
our significance out of what we do and what we said and believed. The Truth lies
somewhere in the Middle of the Table. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> So, I ask both Jo and Susan
to suck it up. You'll find that running from the OE list service only makes you
lonely. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I'll be glad when this
damned election is over. This is not meant as a pejorative word,
instead it is an honest prayer for what it is doing to us and the civility we
embrace. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Keep the faith, Ladies.
Remember, it is during the times of greatest despair that you'll hear the words,
"YOU ARE ACCEPTED." (God love that Man!)</FONT></DIV>
