You can google and yahoo us but you won't find us on the food or travel channel. Forget mapquest because we aren't there. We both love and hate computers. MSN and ebay won't have us but bing finds us readily. We would put weather on the web site but who's weather would we feature, yours or mine ? Hope you can use our NEW translation page above.
We need to stay awake spiritually, “make sure of all things,” “pray constantly,” and encourage one another.
