It was such a delight to meet you and your daughter the other night and I hope it is the beginning of more sharing among you two with us. :)Pat Green He/Him/Hishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681487041418081995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149845.post-22702941006767185802010-10-15T11:54:56.797-05:002010-10-15T11:54:56.797-05:00Well done!

Faith-beginning stories are always a joy for me to hear and you three modeled a way to share these with such grace. I felt drawn into your stories and not threatened by sensing you were advocating something that I should have done or ought to be doing. <br /><br />A quick word study I just did on charis, used 122 times in the NT, usually translated "grace" and sometimes translated as "thanks," closely linked to chara which is translated "joy" (http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/Topics/Grace/Grace013.html) helps explain for me why I felt joy in hearing your stories which for me were shared with grace and I am grateful for that!Jay Stanton Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596601094758371164noreply@blogger.com
