Re: Escape from the abbey
Looking forward to you posting more. You are very forensic and insightful with your posts, coupled with good humour and humanity.
Good luck with your next community.You will give and receive a lot, faith is a wonderful thing. It brings inner peace and happiness to those whom want it.
PS
Did you ever get into trouble with your employers for all the free advice and expert knowledge you gave to powerswitch?!.
