This Is What It's All About....
I have a lot of people ask me why I spend so much time in front of a computer, and why is it that I light up whenever I'm asked about my dealings on here, and the reason why could pretty much be summed up in the entry written by my sister Renee (aFallenCreature). I've said it once, and I'll say it again, I am very proud of the fact that we are part of one of the greatest little corner of friends in all of computerland, bar none!!!
Before I had all of you to get to know, and read about your life's stories, and pray over each of your requests, my life felt rather empty and lacking, but God knew what I needed, and where I needed to be, and I thank Him for that, and for all of you.
It's still funny almost to the point of mind-blowing to think about how God was able to take something so awful in my life, and use it to help me meet all of you, who have truly become some of my dearest friends, and how He uses all of us to truly minister and encourage each other in this, our life's walk.
There are several of you that have been so faithful to comment me and show such kindness, and I realize that I haven't written back much, and for that I truly apologize. I promise that all your words mean a great deal to me, and I do hope to write each of you before too long. Thank you to all of you for your love and friendship, for it's truly made a difference in my life, and I can only hope and pray that I have been able to somehow, by the grace of God, make a difference in your lives.
Love Always,
-Richard.

That IS great that God could take something which the enemy meant for evil in your life and turn it into an opportunity for you to exercise your gifts of encouragement - talk about REDEMPTION!!
All the best,
Tim
I want you to know that I miss you and that I have always valued your love and friendship. I am doing good but I wish I could see you more often. We just had a 60th Suprise birthday party for my mom yesterday. There was about 40 people. It was a lot of fun. Some of the people that were there, I hadn't seen in years. I wish you could have been there. How have you been? I'm glad your trip went good. Anyway my friend, take care and I hope to hear from you soon. God bless. Love, Me

Richard,
Yes, it is all about God's grace! I think the friendships are amazing, too. Quite honestly, I think these will prove to be some of the most long-lasting friendships of my life. Who says virtual is not real???? -- John
