Fish Tank Life
A very nice doctor's office had a beautiful fish tank. The fish are bred to look like exotic salt-water fish. They are beautiful, but they are stuck in that expensive tank and going nowhere, chasing each other, killing each other, hoping someone will pay attention and feed them.

Goodness or Just a Smelly Gas! (08.23.05--Under Pressure!--Romans 15:14)
