Zeee,
I wanted to let you know - that you were in my thoughts today. While in San Antonio, we went to a church here that I discovered on another trip (had to get help to find it again). It's called St. Joseph's and has a great history. It started in 1868 by som of San Antonio's German immagrants who wanted to hear church services in their own language. Today, some of their services are in English, some in Spanish and one Sunday a month they still do services in German (with a full German choir). The church almost was torn down for a department store - and it surrounded by big huge buildings. On either side of this church, where the stained glass windows are, are the tall walls of the surrounding buildings. Yet, somehow, when you walk inside, those stained glass windows light up as if the brightest sunshine is coming through them.
Anyway, while there this morning I lit a real candle for you and your family. I should say "we" - I did take a picture of your cancle - but have not downed any pics from my camera to photobucket yet - will do that later - or tomorrow - and post it then.
Beth
