Actually my friend who spent many years on a Kibutz (spelling) in Isreal explained that Jews always spelled God without the "o". I questioned him about it as his essays always had it spelled that way. It was a long time ago so I'm trying to remember his words... the gist of it is, if the papers were damaged or destroyed in any way God's name would not be defiled. It has everything to do with respect... not disrespect.

Some of the nicest surprises I have received these past couple of years involve receiving flowers. It's nice to know that inspite of being surrounded by blooms, I still enjoy having them sent to me... my friend gets that.
I would rather get them while I'm still standing... but I have no objection to sending them to the funeral home either.
