I think BK> I'd like to hear his thoughts. If I gave you my address would you BK> let me hear it? Of course, Bill. Your interest is apreciated. Unfortunately our experience with the physicians "caring" for my Dad was typical of most of the families we work with. You may recall the old parable about the wedding party, when the groom went out to the highways and byways to invite his guests. That's the way it is with CURE. We don't spend lot of time trying to "convert" doctors and NO time trying to persuade politicians. We try to get our message to the people, which isn't easy with a hostile media, etc., but it's worth it. I wish you could see some of the letters we receive or share the telephone conversations we have with families on the frontlines encouraged just to know they have one friend who cares. Of course, it's not enough, but with God's help, it's a start. BK> PEACE IS STILL WORTH PRAYING FOR It always is, Bill, but never more worthwhile than in time of war. We pray for my brother, Dwight, and his comrades every day, as we pray for all the Agape crew and the entire ABLE gang. Thanks again for "writing." Praying for Nadine, Earl ... CURE cares!
