Meetin...Hetty dear, thank you for your kind words! Meeting you has proven to be a pivotal point in my faith growth, just as meeting Julia Latto and Bonnie Squires has been. Since I was brought to Christ, I now know that the critical influence of Christian fellowship is very, very important, as the act of witnessing to others and learning from others is what drives home the belonging to a community of believers. This community is the body of Christ, also known as the bride of Christ, and for me, was the key to knowing the peace and joy of salvation that had been so elusive for me. I am very glad to know that you, and also Julia and Bonnie, have similarly had these experiences. I hope to join with you and other new friends in perpetuating this ecstatic feeling of completion in Christ!<br /> It is true: "Those who are scribes can testify to what they have read, but those who are partakers can testify to what they have seen." (Think this was Rick <br />Warren) May the blessings of the gentle winds of Christ be always at your back, and may the road rise up to meet you on the wings of God's morning! <3 Jim RussellJimRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01025647714271942279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394361959129032043.post-32980710332293829212013-06-14T23:46:49.633-07:002013-06-14T23:46:49.633-07:00 Praise God Jim!
