God is Good and so are you guys!!

[u-dog]

I want to say something that needs to be said.

I have been reading and praying over the responses to the thread "My Call" in which you have given me advice and affirmation -- and the responses to KYO during his "dark night of the soul" in which you have affirmed and held him during a rough patch in his young life -- and Jeff's query regarding "Body Image" and the amazing wisdom you have shared with him.

and I just need to say that:

I love you all SO MUCH !

I have many wonderful friends in the real world. I have a fantastic biological family. I have an amazing spouse. I have served some wonderful churches as their pastor over the years. So I know whereof I speak. You are all awesomely loving, passionate, wise, and gifted people! Some of you are young and some old. Some men some women some Christian and some "otherthanChristian" some straight and some gay - some of you were born into the "right" bodies and some into the wrong ones -- but ...
YOU ARE ALL AWESOME

and I feel SO blessed and priveleged to know you! God is good. thanks be to God and to you for being God's faithful servants! :love::love::love:
