Hi Jeremy,
I always have enjoyed your posts to this list, so please do keep
posting. Some times it takes some explaining to get things across,
and no, you were not rambling. <smile>
I'm praying for you and Jenifer to find a Church and it sounds like
possibley The Lord has led you to a hopefully good Church. Please
keep us informed, and I will continue to pray.
You are both very loving, and please don't forget that. I'm very
happy for you both. Please keep posting here. <smile>
Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
