MariJean? You khnow what? I, as your best friend, didn't know you
worried about money and stuff like that!
Yeah, I'd be frantic, in my present situation, if Jesus came down
here and collected His Church to go be with Him, too! When I said I
wouldn't miss what I never had, did I really mean that? I dunno if I
did or not. But let me tell ya this one thing. When you took that
most gigantic step of asking Jesus to save you from your sins back in
June of 2000, that was all the faith you'll ever need. Jesus accepted
you then, just as you were, and He still does.
LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART ON THIS EARTH,
Your Sis, Reeva Parry.
