Thanks for the greeting.
Sometimes one is a little more busy than others.
The jewish people say: If all the Jews would expect the Messiah today he
would come.
I also believe that we can not sit back and just let God do everything.
God needs us humans to do HIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  will, and the disunity
amongst us is the worst we can do to His will.
Greetings Klaus
