Metro OKC, OK area - I, too, am a lurker and a reader of the posts.  Thank you for all your observations.  It feels good to know that I am not alone in what I perceive and discern in the events in the news and in nature.
 
My daughter will have 2 weeks of Physical Therapy and a week of exercises over Spring Break.  Then we go back to see the surgeon to reassess her injury and the possible need for surgery.  Thanks for your prayers.
