I happened to see something on the tv the other day about the C.O.G., and the guy mentioned the web site, "movingon...". I'd never heard of it (nor this site). But I'm not much of a computer person. In fact, since finding this site this week, I've been on the computer more than the last couple years put together! I REALLY, REALLY appreciate you all, and this whole web site thing!!! I was with the cog right after coming back from viet nam and getting out of the army in '71. An old guy with a real long white beard, named "Whiskers" picked me up hitch hiking and took me a way I wasn't really going, but told me that where he was taking me was where I should go. So he took me to the "Ranch" somewhere near Tyler Tex. Was there some months, then New Orleans, then Amsterdam, Holland about 9 mos. Those couple years (till mid '73) have had the most profound effect on my life. Over the years I would hear bits and pieces about the group, and was dissappointed to hear the direction mo was going. I'm at work now (a weld shop) and my boss is wanting me to do work, so, Ill hook up later. I did read the article, "Christianity and saving the Creation", and it was most awesome. Thanx so much for being there. later...mark
