This little educational bio is proof positive that God answers
prayers.  Welcome to the list!

I have had this sneaking suspicion for some time now that when we get
into major divisions on the Greek grammar that the problem we are
having contains a very [un]healthy dosage of English grammatical
ignorance.  Since we mostly all speak it as a primary language, we
assume that we know it.  Not always so!

I'm glad to see you on board...
