Of course anything really private won't be appropriate since anyone anywhere can read this board.
~Yea, sure. If you look at Bill's response to J, he refers to the "fishbowl." The fishbowl consisted
of people's names in a little piece of paper or of people's (or animals) pictures. Nothing specific or private was contained in the fishbowl. We knew an individual's (human or animal) intentions, but it was
also meant to go beyond some laundry list of intentions, but to encompass the whole being, lifting that
being up to God, since of course He knows His creation better than we did. The placing of the name or picture of an individual in the bowl symbolized that the individual was now placed in God's care, or that we've put him/her in God's hands.
