Your explanation is very well put and confirms that which I thought about you truly having the gift of the heart of a teacher which is different than merely knowing something. Yay you! Robin

Thanks to all for this fascinating exchange of ideas. Laura, your question is not in any way dumb and it is very difficult to answer easily. It's relatively easy for me to know the difference
