Hi Phil,

Yes, I did read your autobiography and I think I still have it, but not
sure. I think that There are some other books you have written that I want
to read.

Praise The Lord that we can all talk about these things, and know that
we're still in the hands of our Loving Heavenly Father, and that we will
always be loved.

Phil, you and Sandy are loving! <smile>

I would love to hear her testimony.

Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
