       MPG. Narrative, I agree with you. One should be determine, not loss heart, not give up, and remember the spider story trying to get home, and told by the old king.                                                 And before one would say Jack, the spider was home before the very eyes of the King.                                              This 'foolish thing' that nearly 'kill itself' made it?                                    And, the King had cause to change his mind and change the story! 'Bravo, bravo', he cry. 'Honour to all those who try'. Glenn, deserves the honour. Let it be continous with his 'happy dance'.

    There was a fellow writer on HubPages who used to criticize me for writing "Christian" instead of writing "disciple of Christ." We went back and force about the terms for a long time. Since he was one of my dedicated followers, I gave in and began writing "disciples of Christ" instead of "Christian."
    
    After that, we became good friends even though we never met in person. He no longer writes for HubPages because he became very ill and died.  He emailed me and told me the doctors said he was too old to get more surgeries. Now, every time I am tempted to write "Christian" I remember his argument, and I write "disciple of Christ" instead.  I smile as I think about him and how convincing he was.
