Jerry, I'll be happy to lend you a tenor. Even a twentyor.

Seriously, I know what you're doing and you can get pretty frustrated along the way. As they say, "God will provide," but....

A town was flooded, and a rescue boat went out to collect people.   At one house there was a man sitting on the front porch, and when the people in the boat said, "Get in and we'll take you to safety" he replied, "God will provde." Sometime later another boat came by and made the same offer, and the man said, "Thank you, but God will provide." A couple hours later a helicopter flew over and saw the guy sitting on his roof, flood waters swirling around the eaves of the house. Again he refused aid by saying, "God will provide."

Shortly thereafter he was swept away and drowned. Sopping wet he arrived before the throne of God and stammered out, "Why, Lord, didn't you provide for me?" And God replied, "Don't start, dude -- I sent two boats and a helicopter."

Good luck in the search!
