I need to find his music online. The albums we had are long gone. Thanks for the reminder. <br /><br />And thanks for taking the time to read my story.Dee Dee https://www.blogger.com/profile/12568993522822927873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231650879217530051.post-46314522094707105192013-07-17T07:11:01.479-04:002013-07-17T07:11:01.479-04:00Mary, I'm not even sure why I backed up to rea...Mary, I'm not even sure why I backed up to read this post today, but I'm glad I did. I had no idea what you'd been through. I will pray for you! <br /><br />Your situation reminds me of lyrics to a Terry Talbot song (John Michael's brother): "I'm like a stone thrown through the sea, I'm falling--and the waves all mold me as they may; to be reborn, and then to hear the calling, yes, that I'm still... still the Potter's Clay."<br /><br />I pray comfort for you. And I know the molding will yield an even more beautiful vessel for the King's use.Robin Steinweghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02662644516995119419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231650879217530051.post-4443238635025262792013-07-08T11:07:32.162-04:002013-07-08T11:07:32.162-04:00Sheri, thank you for your encouragement of me over...Sheri, thank you for your encouragement of me over the past few years.

Please know that you are a great encouragement to me! <br /><br />I'm sorry for your losses. The losses that aren't as obvious, like the loss of health, can sneak up on us. Others may not see or realize how hard it is. I will pray about your health. I do understand. <br /><br />But you're right. These really hard times can make us run FROM GOD or TO GOD. I'm choosing to run to Him and tell Him I'm hurting. And He's been gracious to give me shoulders to cry on and dear friends like you to listen and understand. <br /><br />May God bless you today sweet friend!Dee Dee https://www.blogger.com/profile/12568993522822927873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231650879217530051.post-79065364850120638632013-07-08T10:02:38.703-04:002013-07-08T10:02:38.703-04:00Mary

In any questions you may ask Him, you'll move even nearer. May He comfort you and Todd in this time.Ellen Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474986203062305511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231650879217530051.post-29641087124031303352013-07-08T08:24:20.429-04:002013-07-08T08:24:20.429-04:00Oh, Mary, my heart aches for you. Perhaps it's...Oh, Mary, my heart aches for you. Perhaps it's because I understand so well what you are going through. My life has been one loss after another. At the time of each loss, I felt I could not survive the pain. But I did. Now, I realize every loss draws us closer to God's heart. It's not easy. Of course, He didn't promise it would be easy--just that He would be there with us. There are so many things we will understand some day. Faith is knowing this and being willing to wait through the pain.<br /><br />The enabler in me wishes she could fix it all for you. But that would deny you the blessings that come from loss. I keep reminding myself of this concept--especially in the loss of my health, loss of control of decisions in my life, and loss of my son as my daily companion and best friend as he learns these lessons for himself.<br /><br />My prayers are always with you--daily. I love you as a sister and dear friend. Yes, you will survive this part of the journey. No, it will not be easy. But you are SO LOVED! You are not alone.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01876773705678028898noreply@blogger.com
