Guess that's why I got into spec-fic...where spirituality and creativity and wonder meet. -C     "If I've told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will it be when I tell you about heavenly things?"  Jesus   No, rather it would the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red.
