And I just met with a pastor today who wants me to return to discuss
the use of FOSS in the church with his office staff.  I may be able to
produce a seminar for the church in 2005.  I'll take a desktop PC
(wish I had a laptop) and give 'em a tour.  So, along with the
rejoicing, keep praying.

God bless,
Don
