[Magdalen] Loaned out

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Thanks for your thought provoking post M.  I am not in a position to 'give 
without lending' most of the time. However I see the dynamic that if one can 
give without needing repayment the situation is completely different for all 
parties involved. Thanks for sharing how you approach this.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
