Ernie : Just got back, need a little time for some things around here. But time enough to ask a question. "Both good and bad" Obviously , my view is that it is all good, 100% good, with nothing bad. What did I miss ? At least you know the "theology" behind the words. The goal was a simple, memorable statement of what we just talked about. Critique of Islam, but most of the lyrics are all about a vision for the future based on ecumenical spirit. But if there are serious problems, OK, I am willing to "listen" and make a few revisions if necessary. As it is, the poetry of the three new stanzas is less than it could be, to understate the case. Need to work on that. While I'm at it, maybe change a couple of other things. Now is the time for that, viz, if you have the time for a critique. If you don't, not a problem. Think I can muddle through, well enough. Billy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In a message dated 8/3/2010 2:30:43 P.M.
