Quote of the day: “We look high and low for God, but somehow He's not there. So we blame Him and tell ourselves that He must have forgotten us. Or else we decide that He left us long ago, if He was ever around.""How strange," the little fish said, "to miss what is everywhere."
"Very strange," the old whale agreed. "Doesn't it remind you of fish who say they're thirsty?”

I have a question about this one!

I know Michael and La Toya didn't have quite a good relationship for several years, but does this mean that they actually didn't meet for 14 years?

As I remember reading… Somewhere; Michael had forgiven her about the 1993 statement she made. Latoya said on an interview with Barbara Walters (I think) that Even though he forgave her, they didnt sit down and talk about it specifically. I'm sure they have gotten together before 2002, its just might not have been recorded…


I hope that helps.
