And maybe it is a separate entity or a projection of the divine that specifically deals with issues between me and the divine&#8230;. as opposed to everyone else. <\/p>\n<p>As a kid I thought that Jim Croce was my guardian angel&#8230;. <\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; 93 == YMMV<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really not sure what&#8217;s really up there beyond what I see.
