I really appreciate the fact that you and others that are out doing so much for the Kingdom read and find something of worth in what I have to say. I check in on yours often but do know that you are busy and don’t get to post much. I just happen to have loads of time due to my work (construction) and the economy.

I told Shannon not long ago that I was hoping we could meet sometime soon.

Love you

I truly enjoy reading your posts! Please forgive me that I don’t post comments very often, but I wanted to add one to let you know that I am reading here in Jasper.

I hope we can all get together for a time of fellowship in the future, because I know the posts but have yet to meet the man.

Please keep up the great job of advancing the Kingdom…. my prayers are with you!

In Christ,
Jason Daughdrill

You really don’t know what you or these words mean to me. Or how timely. But that is not for here.

I love you, son.

To all:

I have probably known Sonny longer than any of you (except Aunt Sheila) So I wanted to share a little.

Sonny: I don’t know if I express this enough, but I love you for who you are and who you were. Because without that past you would not have the same perspective you have now. If there truly is a plan in place then God chose the right guy to go to battle with.

Now on a more personal note, that I finally don’t mind sharing, It has been difficult in the past, but this forum just seems right.
For those of you who don’t know my father died when I was eight years old, and not one-day goes by that I do not miss him tremendously. I often sit up at night and think how things could have been different.
I was even younger (I believe less than one) when He and my mother divorced. Then when I was about five my mother met Sonny and he came into our lives. It was difficult to adjust to this new presence in our lives, but I could see that Sonny was a very intelligent and good person. As I grew up there were many good times and many bad times especially in Germany (I still wouldn’t trade any of it). After a few years eight or nine, I don’t remember, Sonny and my mom got a divorce. Now this is where the story gets really cool. Sonny was not my father, and had no obligation to do anything for me at all or even give me the time of day. However, he still took me in as his own and continues even to this day. I am very grateful for that. I had a father that I loved very much, and as I said I miss every day, but Sonny was there for me and was every bit the father that I needed in my life. It may not have been the normal nuclear – two parent, two kid, one and half dog – family, but it worked. I learned so much from Sonny that has helped me in my life. I don’t know if he even realizes it. Through all the “selfishness” he claims, he had a major positive impact on me even before he found God. I don’t know how selfish it is to take the child of a woman whom you just divorced (a constant reminder of all the problems and pain) and treat him just like your own child, but he did it. While my journey continues, I am so excited and thankful to know that if I need him Sonny will be there for my family and me.

Once again, I am sorry to be so long winded. I actually have many more things to say about how great Sonny is, but I will save that for another time.

Sonny glad you are still here. Love you very much.

I love you and Tammy so much.

I did not grow up in church, although I attended some until I became a teenager. I was 43 years old before I asked God to save me. I always knew there was a God; I just didn’t want Him “messing up my lifestyle”. So I kept Him at bay for 31 years.

When Wayne and I first came to ACOG in 1994, I was immediately drawn to Tammy. I kinda knew her, but not real well. I watched her pray for your salvation week after week after week. She never gave up. She was faithful in her prayers. That touched me because I could relate to it so well. My son Jesse started going to church on his own when he was 10. For five long years he prayed for God to save Wayne and me. God listened, and I knew He would do the same for Tammy. I was right. He did.

For a long time I just watched you in awe as you worshiped and praised God. I knew then how Jesse felt when we showed up. How blessed you and I are to have someone here on earth that loves us so much that they would pray without ceasing for us (you and me)that we might know that there was someone greater than them that loved us more than we can ever comprehend. WOW!

God knew just where to place me in His kingdom. I’m not very good at researching and explaining the Word to others. He gave you that job. I teach from “Upper Elementary” level

He just told me to let His love shine through me. He told me to love everybody no matter what their situation, their looks, their iniquities. To let them know that they ARE worthy of God’s love. I’m not perfect, but I do try to do that. I know how it feels to think you are not worthy.

Anyway, I didn’t mean to be so long winded, but I did want you to know that I love you and Tammy very much and I feel blessed to have you in my life. Love reading your blog.

I probably can’t agree that I am that wonderful a brother. But I do love all of you and pray for you more than you know. I mainly pray that we all end up in eternity together where we will finally have some time. But for now, there is a war going on.

Love you

I am so thankful for everyone who still continues to sit and listen to me share what I believe is being shown to me about the Word of God. The very reason I believe it to be given to me by the Holy Spirit is because I saw the Word in such a different light before.

I know that sometimes things may not seem as relevant as they might but I also believe that I am trying to submit to the Spirit. So there must be something He wants someone to get. I do value your input and everyone elses. And I believe we agree on a lot more issues than we disagree on.

I hope you find some of my thoughts on here at least interesting. But my real prayer is that in some small way I can impact the Kingdom and foil the enemy

I am thankful for you, I appreciate you and I love you.

You and Tammy are a blessing to me.

I love God very much and I am so glad that His love for me is not based on what others think of me, how smart I am or how much I understand Him. It is a comfort to me to know He loves me as I am and He has plans for me that I could not ever comprehend. It has been a joy to watch you grow in the Lord and move from glory to glory. I believe God has a enormous plan for your life. Since I have been in your class you have both challenged and confirmed some of my thoughts. Sometimes I feel like a light has gone off in a dark room where I have tucked the wild things I think about God and the Bible. It is great to know that I am not alone in some of the ideas I have about God. We may not always agree but, I hope you continue to be obedient to teach what God puts in your heart. Your wisdom and understanding of Gods Word is amazing-but of course it amazes me that someone knows so much about so many other religions and other stuff. I’m sure some of my comments drive you crazy–Thank you for being such a great teacher.

May God bless you and your family and may He continue to use you as a Watchman on the wall.
