Kooks are as common as dirt & certainly not restricted to any one religious affiliation.
Sometimes the best prayer I can come up with is, "Lord, deliver me from my own kookitude; from being a thorn in the sides of my fellow human beings - and while You're at it, please deliver me from my fellow nut-cases. Amen."

I once saw this bumper sticker: "Lord deliver me from Your followers."

Neil,

That could be true. I hadn't thought of that either. The message that I kept getting, however, was that the image files were too big. When I looked at the size they seemed well within the limits. You're probably right though, and I understand completely. If anyone is interested in seeing some photos of the prayer ropes I make just send me an e-mail or something and I'd be happy to share. Peace to all!

ICXC + NIKA,
Phillip

Phillip,

E-mail the pics to me at Irish_Melkite@verizon.net and let me check.

Many years,

Neil
