Dear Judy,
Thank you for rembering me about your web site. It is very nice. It is very nice. I still have the book Given to Hospitality, and keep it handy for all the great infomation it contains.
I know you’re last crusade must have been successful as the Lord said his word will not return void.
Just a note to pass on to your friend that was with you at our home after your Dad’s funeral,concerning the biscuits and gravy
his mother prepared at church on monthly basis. Dick presented
the program to our Pastor,who thought it was a great idea. It is now a big deal on the first Sunday of each month.
I hope all is well with your family.
Thank you for remembering me as your sister in Jesus! I have some problems I need to sort out and I need you to help me to be faithful in God’s house when other people are talking among each other. I did that in the past and I am so sorry I ever did that. I went through a boat load of problems as I was on psychiatric drugs , I didn’t need them back then and don’t need them to this day. Help me to maintain my mental balance as I need prayers for patience for the secon coming of Jesus! Please get me to church on Sunday evenings and in the morning an Wednesday evenings please ask God for me to go to the Alter to be prayed for about my pysically challenged body caused by rhuematoid arthritis that gives me torouble walking and with my patience. Call my cell at 401-636-6721 to talk to me about a ride tonight for service. Amen Jrsus loves you and I do too
Dear Mrs. Lewis,
Very nice blogsite. I really enjoyed the blog about the nursery worker. Most people do not look at the nursery that way. Thank you for putting up this site. Very encouraging.
