Hi Gayla! I've visited your blog before and I think we commented back and forth. You and I have similar testimonies! I praise God for Pastor Jim McClarty!! He used him in a huge way for me and my husband to open our eyes of His Sovereignty!! I saw on his facebook page you are now watching the Amazing Grace videos from Apologetic's Group. I just went ahead and bought the 10 pack and hand them out to everybody. Then, those who are still talking to me after watching (hee...hee) I tell them about Pastor Jim's most excellent TULIP series that's like over 20 messages. I bet I have listened to that a dozen times!! Glory to God!!

In Him,
Sister Cin

Saija!!!! Helloooooo! and hugs to you too!
It's been a while. I confess, I spend much more time on Facebook than I do on the blogs anymore. Thank you for visiting and leaving such sweet thoughts. I know we do share the common bond of husbands with chronic diseases, and we can relate to each other in ways that others cannot. Nice to have a friend like that! Have you ever considered joining Facebook?

Oh my goodness, Cindy! Please forgive me for not recalling our previous comments to one another! I just finished watching the AG video last night, and will start it again today. There is much to absorb! I love Jim, too. Stumbled across his "IS Christmas Pagan" sermon on Reformed Voices blog last Nov or Dec, and have been listening ever since. I was honored to meet him back in April over Easter weekend. As I tell him all the time, I am taught well.
