First off, all of the BR family are in my prayers (and you know how much I believe in praying, etc.) I find that it really helps to just close your eyes and pray, even if it is just for a short while when you need some extra comfort in the trying times. However, don't close your eyes while praying if you are driving, I don't want you to have more problems to pray about...and have people praying for you about.
Quote: I've noticed over the past few months, my writing skills suck. I guess this is one of the effects of stress.
My friend, I think you are doing great and have improved. I have noticed over the past few months that you have really learned to be more expressive with a very good dialog. I think my writing skills have improved over the past few months. More time to read different books and get inspired by different writing styles, and more time on emails/DB boards to write and get inspired. My spelling is still sometimes off. I think emails are great because people are learning to write again, that is if they take it serious and don't do lazy emails.
