Thanks for the transparency. Your testimony here can be very encouraging to a lot of people! I can remember several preachers who were a big encouragement to me.

You are really some kind of lady, you know that? Thank you for being my sister and friend. That's a wonderful story about you and Larry's family. What precious people they had to be.....and they recognized in you an equally precious person. <strong>Thank you so much Judy and believe me when I say the honor is mine in being your sister and friend.</strong> Janice, your honesty and humility NEVER fail to encourage me.

Matter of fact, when Bro. Smith died, he and my uncle had been out looking over a piece of land on which Bro. Smith hoped to build a house. He made the decision that was the place for his house and dropped dead. My uncle tried CPR on him, and held him in his lap until help came, but it was too late. Bro. Smith was dead when he hit the ground. Small world, isn't it? <strong>It is a small world indeed. I was not aware of the details of his death, but I’m glad he was with a close friend. I hope you are doing well Greg, sounds like you have had a few hectic days/nights.</strong> Frank Smith was a very close friend to my uncle. Matter of fact, when Bro.

Please keep telling how God used wonderful people to to do wonderful things in your life. We need to hear that. It's hard to remember good people when the others shout so loudly. I sincerely thank you! <strong>Mark, I am always humbled when people read what I write. I have made so many friends since I began blogging almost a year ago and honestly I’m still a bit surprised at the ones that continue to read and comment on my blog and I am always encouraged.
