Sisters and brothers in Christ,
I am completely drained, of emotions, and of any energy at the moment.
But I promise you this, I will write a completely detailed description of my
nights walk.
I can't do it now, I have to just gather my strength and energy back.
Just know this, GOD was there, and boy was it great!
So, stay tuned, I will if everyone on this list would like to hear about it
that is.
GOD bless you all.

I know I said I wouldn't forward anything more to the list, but as both
these fine people are on our e-church list I thought an exception could be
made this once.  Also Jennifer and Jeremy may not have seen the article.
