I did recently see a change in you but I had no clue it had anything to do with religious beliefs.. I guess I should say "Congratulations" because of all the pain you wen through to get to the point ou are in now. We are all good friends and its best not to think about the consequences. -Ali Sammour Dear Kent it’s me Ali Sammour..

I agree we must daily examine ourselves and see where we need to apologize, or mend fences, or be more loving. Sometimes, for me, it is difficult to step out of my "comfort zone." Thank you for the thought and research and energy you put into your sermons each week. Barbara Hess I enjoyed your sermon yesterday, and Advent Musings I read today.

When I first came to FBC and joined the singles group, of which David was also a member at the time, I thought, "who is this old guy with a ponytail who wears tank tops to church"? But when I got to know him, I was humbly reminded how wrong it is to judge someone, especially based on his outward appearance. He was a very special guy with such a sweet spirit, even as he faced death. I can still hear David’s voice saying what you’ve just quoted.

However I didn't discover Jesus until I was married and a father of three. I understand your loneliness and emptyness of life when God took away your school friend. However now you understand at your young age that God allows things to happen according to His plans so your life may be enriched. You lost a friend so you may become aware that you have your closest friend ever in Jesus. It took me much longer to realise it. Congratulations on this your baptism. Glory be to God. May He bless your life ever more. By the way, I am close to 79 years old and a close friend of your Grandparents the Adams. Love & Best Wishes, James H.G. Khouw Sydney, Australia Dear Kent,

I have been to Europe; visited many places I had wanted to see; ridden in a little 4 seat airplane; ridden in a glider; ridden in a balloon; swum in many waters; tried boogy boarding; remarried; made peace with my younger daughter; prayed more; worried less; and am learning to laugh with and at myself and my faux pax (sp?). Making gratitude lists each night. Life is good; God is great!
