Memories
Today I went to church at St.Paul's Methodist on Main Street in Houston, Texas. It was a wonderful experience of beautiful music and people who come together to find Jesus.This is the address on my wedding invitation June 9,1967. Our son,Brad was Baptized in this church. We were going to this church when our marriage fell apart in 1972. Good memories and difficult memories in the same building. Why does God take us around the same mountains 40 years later? I am reminded of the Israelites. Moses leads them out of their slavery in Egypt but then their lack of faith makes them stay in the wilderness for 40 years. I don't think I have been in the desert for 40 years but Billy and I did stuggle to find this great marriage for most of our 40 years. We went to counseling, we helped other people, we practiced everything that we learned and we fell more and more in love with each other every year. Billy is in the promised land. He is face to face with Jesus. I have to believe that I have some work to do for these next years ,that I am here and not there,that I need to fall more and more in love with Jesus. I pray that my purpose is to lead some of you to find this love of family, spouses, children, strangers and of course our Lord. May God bless you with this overpowering love that is beyond words.

Gene and I drove to Austin yesterday to visit our 4 week old gandson and Micah and Jenn. We had a wonderful time of giving and receiving love. We had to drive home in a rain storm. the radio being out of commission we decided to sing to ease the strain and pass the time with some old favorite songs (ones we coud remember). It was fun! One of them was: "She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain". How many times do we all have to go 'round that mountain again because we didn't get it right the first time or second. As parents we tell our children the same things over and over because we want them to be able to make good choices and decision as adults. But just as God lets us go to make our own way - we have to let go and let our children make their own way and sometimes bad choices. But we are here - just like Jesus - waiting to reinforce in any and every way we can. Thank you, Jennifer and Billy, for having made that one of your life's works: showing people the way. May we all be a true example of Jesus - to lead the way to Him and His healing touch. We draw ever closer to Him so that: "His very breath and blood flow through us nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God and robust in Love." Eph 4:15 The Message
You and Billy helped many people, and now you continue that mission.
Praise God for the calling on your life and what that means to your friends and family.
Healing comes!
