Wow, You made my day Bruce. Thanks to all  who have emailed me. 
The truth is God made a whole bunch of us.  We are supposed to be 
helping  each other and lifting each other up. 
While on this journey, we can make a choice to be sour  to others and 
eventually just become surly self  absorbed old grumps  or not.
I hope we all chose "not"
Keith
