My my ~ You have now grabbed my attention for the 2nd time! I respond after work with a wide smile because I have never been called into the Dean's office without a particular task. You see my boss at the Police Department, in Stockton, NSS ~ his name is Richard Dean ~ and no they would not want me to pack a pistol :) HAZAAH and Well Done to you Gary for your accomplishments and interesting and insightful publications! Particularly your doctoral dissertation "For the joy set before them"....Appreciating your critical thinking, the only credential I can say that I have is that the Lord Jesus hold is the Author and Perfector of my soul, and I am His. He has given me a magnificient obsession ~ to hear His voice and know Him more....I delight in writing about our relationship, and I today at lunch I blogged a bit around Thomas Merton....then I discover an email from you....a good day indeed! The photo's of the water - yes they were taken in Mexico. For the past six years, my brother and his wife have blossomed while living in Loreto, Mx. The boat is his ~ my yacht is a kayak...he loves the ocean and has wonderful stories to share. The ocean is fantastic, however, I am more drawn to lakes, mountains and trees. Therefore, as my Lord went before me...on Christmas day 2009, I was enabled to purchase a home in Lake Chapala. My plan is to follow His plan...and when I retire in 2014 ~ it is my compulsion to lead a particular study group in rural Mexico.<br /><br />One of the posts on this blog entitled Who is in your bouquet ~ pictures of my family.<br />http://fieldtec.blogspot.com/<br /><br />It was a true blessing to hear from you today!

One day at a time to be patient and strong; To be calm under trial and sweet under wrong; <br /><br />Then its toiling shall pass and its sorrow shall cease; It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace. <br /><br />One day at a time--but the day is so long, And the heart is not brave, and the soul is not strong, O Thou pitying Christ, be Thou near all the way; Give courage and patience and strength for the day. <br /><br /> Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet; "Yea, I will be with thee, thy troubles to meet; I will not forget thee, nor fail thee, nor grieve; I will not forsake thee; I never will leave." <br /><br /> Not yesterday's load we are called on to bear, Nor the morrow's uncertain and shadowy care, Why should we look forward or back with dismay? Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day.<br /><br /> One day at a time, and the day is His day; He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay. His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone; As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own. <br /><br />Evelyn MorrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504218938204574259.post-20103866724083027052010-02-21T14:06:06.362-08:002010-02-21T14:06:06.362-08:00Dear Barbara, I have ALWAYS been blessed by your m...Dear Barbara, I have ALWAYS been blessed by your ministry.

It was great to hear your heart and what you’d like to do with this group. After you read the document that describes the purpose for Growth Groups and after attending Synergy on March 6, you may have more questions. Feel free to contact me anytime. You may also find the leader blog useful (www.fuelinglife.org) and the FAQs posted there (http://fuelinglife.org/faqs/) <br /><br />In April you will be able to sign up to be a Growth Group leader. If you have not done so already, please plan on attending our Connexions Focus on Five class on March 14, 21 and 28th. Crossroads require that all leaders go through the class. Blessings!<br />Pastor Ed - Manteca<br />Crossroads ChurchAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777658601094870541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504218938204574259.post-4732536736906246392010-02-21T09:12:00.676-08:002010-02-21T09:12:00.676-08:00You are right!

I am lookiing forward to reading about the women in this blog, and perhaps as your vision has it, meeting all of them including Anne Graham Lotz and Beth Moore along with 10,000 other Sparkle Sista's from across the USA - at the Stockton Event Center! We are blessed to have so many wonderful friends, but then, we often attract people who compliment our beliefs~ OK, I gotta go get ready for church and then off to lunch with partner in the practice. Have a jolly good day!! <br /> <br />Rebecca Robbins, LMFT 209-608-8375<br />"Marriage and Family Therapist"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
