PeterC & CarolAnn,
I think, if you want to truly know someone, a two way dialogue is essential. Would you agree? Of course, believing you are actually talking to SOMEONE would be a prerequisite and I don't know your beliefs on that one.
You have a good point, PeterC - listening is vital BUT I don't believe that God ever gets "fed up" with hearing from us, as you suggest, Carol Ann. I never get "fed up" with listening to my own children and I believe God to be perfect, the antithesis of impatience. You're right, though, Carol Ann - as I tell my two boys (ages 5 and 2 1/2), "Whining is not a useful form of communication." I get sick of hearing MYSELF when I am whining but God knows the intentions of my heart anyway, so I'm sure nothing I SAY to Him is any big surprise.
Sorry about the tangent but you did bring it up, PeterC:)
If you ever figure out how to boost Dopamine naturally and permanently, Carol Ann, please let me know.

P.S. BoBB, does the supposition that claire is not BoBB eliminate the possibility that they may occupy the same physical body?
