Hi all,
I have been offline, fault of Bellsouth, for a week.  Suddenly last
Wednesday morning (01/07/2004_ I had no connection.  After a week of
wrestling with Bellsouth, I am finally back online.  When I logged on
yesterday afternoon around 4PM, I had 665 new messages.  It has taken me
till now to get through all of them.
Phil, I saw you leave the list and return in one day.  That's not too bad!
However, I am happy that the Lord lead you back to us.  I hated the thoughts
of echurch without her pastor.  There is a real ministry here and I know of
no one better qualified to minister here thatn you.  Of course, you have an
able crew to see to it that the work of the ministry is carried out.  What a
blessing to have this place to vent, share and pray, to hear the testimonies
of many who have been blessed of corrected by the Lord and to hear of the
victories that God has given in the lives of the family.
I too, was saddened by the strife we witnessed here but know that there are
times when love requires it.
Kathy, thank the Lord for the thawing of your pipes.
Brad, I am glad to hear that your are such a committed (or should be) person
that you even listen to the teaching of your dog.
steph, what a joy to now have that little girl in your arms and not in your
body crying out to be born.  God is so good to give us children.  They are
such a blessing and a reminder of what God has to put up with us.
I thank Him for all of you and for your contributions  here on the list.  I
pray for you all.  Chris, I always pray for you too, though I am one who
doesn't respond to many messages, I still read and pray always for you all.
Shelly, I am praying that this time with the doctor with be easier for you
and that it will reveal more to you about your health.
Paul, though you may not be reading this,  I just want you to know that I
love you and all the contributions you make.  The list will not be nearly as
good a place without our official chaplaine.  We love you and need you here
to make the family complete.
Rhonda, it is a lot warmer here in Georgia.

God bless you all and Carol, I pray the ear gets better and does not cause
you anymore pain.

God bless you all,

Ned
