Dear Reader Andrew,

And you are quite the "pillar" of faith yourself . . .

Alex,

It's one thing to sit on a pillar and offer wisdom to the faithful, like the good stylite whom we celebrate today.

But to be the pillar itself....well, that implies that my brain has the consistency of stone and has no better use than to support a holy buttocks!

It's OK, Alex, I'm not offended since you're hardly the first to have noticed. biggrin biggrin biggrin

In Christ,
Andrew
