Boy- you guys lost me!!! It was a yes or no answer-do you give them the sign off and award or not?
"First, the "pin" isn't the "award".. the real award is recognition, and the pin brings the boy back to *rememberence.." Maybe I'm just too tired to see what you are saying-I got home after 10:00PM, from spending the day at the hospital, and finally made some dinner and sat down to check my e-mail after fighting with Drs. to do something about my wife and her cancer. Our Primary Dr. now thinks it may be Conjestive Heart Failure along with cancer. And I know I have to go and do it all over again tomorrow. In that light I guess this question will not be a big decision or it shouldn't be. Its just a way for me to let off steam and unwind before crashing. We have issues at Rangers much more devastating-like did Marcus really steal something and is now lying about it? Or is Scotty not coming back to Rangers because they are offended? Heck-if a boy says it once from memory thats good enough for me. I'm not going to check him 35 years from now to see if he still remembers it. I have my own hard time trying to remember it too! I still don't know all the knots in the book so I can't throw stones at no parents. I stilll have to peek at the points of the emblem and their definitions and I've been doing this for over 10 years. Maybe I should be kicked out or something. my .02 Bob Simons For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
