Dear friends:

Please excuse my absence!

About three weeks ago my computer crashed and I have been out of commission ever since.  It came after an unexplained three-hour power outage in my neighborhood.  Even though I have good power protection (or I thought) , my power supply died and had to be replaced.  I just got it back today.

I have kept up somewhat with my incoming mail on my wife's computer, but I did not have my address book for outgoing mail.  Bummer.

Anyhow, I'm back.  Halleluyah!

By sending this e-mail, I note that the rapture has not happened yet.  But hang on -- it's coming!

Being without my computer is a painful experience, and it's good to be back.

God bless you,

Jim.
