I was just reminded of a story, that to me, illustrates perfectly what Plan A is.<P>The Chinese Bamboo Tree. When you plant a Chinese Bamboo tree, nothing happens for 5 years. You water it, give it sunshine, fertilize it, water, sunshine, fertilizer... over and over for 5 years, and nothing seems to happen. No growth - no sign of growth or life at all. But in the 5th year, it grows up to 90 feet tall! Well, did it grow in one year? Or 5 years? But if you stop that nurturing process at all, it will die, and it will never grow.<P><P>------------------<BR>Faith1<P>"Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.'"<BR>Matt 15:28

Thank you. Sometimes the frustration can run very high, when you don't see any results of your hard work.
