Thanks all.

I did say to the pray-ers, if you show me a church where people live past the average age, don't suffer, and the kids don't die of leukemia or die after car accidents I'm joining. Not to ruffle anyone's feathers. My Mother believes God healed me. She's 83 and she has no bone in part of her back and it has the nerves messed up so she can't walk. Been like that 10 years now. 4 to 5 steps to a wheelchair. Narcotics. Dementia. And her 400 member prayer chain Baptist Church can't get her out on Sunday though she'd love to go she just can't take it. So I go as sit with her while my Dad goes.

Don't get too shocked but I believe in God, but that's it. Not some book, or some guy with a radio show, just plain old vanilla Supreme Being.

The platinum chemo 3 times they pushed and dam spoilt my hearing,
The same poison ran my veins and dam spoilt my dancing,
The radiation cooked my neck and throat and damn spoilt my singing.

I have a version of a song I plagiarised from the 1700's I need to finish but it's downstairs and the walk is too painful to contemplate.
