Seems the Cancer has disappeared. : ) That was the message the dove was sending me. The Lord had already said to me a couple weeks ago 'to expect the unexpected.' I'm looking forward to hearing your teachings. Thought we would have more tine in Houston, but thanks to His lovingkindness, we'll now get to listen to them at home. Blessings, Buddy Tnanks Margot,

The Father's love for you is so evident. Thank You again for your witness of a relationship with Jesus. Your message of a simple walk with Jesus is a timeless one. Keep saying it! We just got home from a vacation in South Dakota (long drive from Indiana). anyway, it was restful but my mind wandered all over the place trying to figure out certain places in my walk with the Lord. As we neared home, thinking about all the areas of my life that I had to make right I heard Him gently say "It's easier than you are making it out to be." It being a relationship, walk, trying to please Him, and then I heard as song about trusting Him like a little child trusts his father. Why do I make it so hard? I am blessed again and again by your testimonies. Though we have not met face to face I feel as if I know your heart well and am praising and praying with you for recovery. The older I get the more I realize 67 is very young. (Happy Belated Birthday!) Margot Powerful testimony! The Father’s love for you is so evident.

Such a joy! Thank you for the birthday wishes. Tomorrow I'll be 67, and I can truly say that the Lord has been my constant companion all these many years. I've failed Him so many times. He has never failed me. Love both of you more than words can say, Buddy Thank you Doris and Jim,

Buddy Tue, 21 Aug 2007 03:08:56 +0000 http://www.comeuphither.com/PastorBuddy/2007/08/20/a-meeting-with-the-dove/#comment-2934 Thank you dear sister --- You have always had such a gentle spirit. It has been such a joy to watch you and Warren and the boys make your journey of life out of religion and into a strong personal walk with the Lord, and to know that I had a part in that. Guess I understand more now than I ever have what the apostle meant when he said, "I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth." (3Jn4 - Of course I realize that you are God's child.) If there was ever a message I've longed to get across to those that I minister to, it is the message of personal discipleship. And a disciple is one who can hear. To know that you have learned to hear from the Lord personally says it all. The Lord richly bless you and Warren and the boys. And thanks for the birthday wishes. Always your friend and fellow-sojourner in Christ, Buddy Thank you dear sister —

Buddy: These blogs do more to bolster our faith than we let you know. After our conversation today, I re-read this, and it touched me deeply. I've heard from the Lord as directly as you've said above.......once most recently when I called out to Him when Doris's cancer was diagnosed. May the Lord continue to bless you, and Happy Birthday!

Buddy, Yesterday's service was absolutley wonderful! When you were reading from Isaiah 30:21 "This is the way, walk in it," that is one of the very first revelations that the Lord had given to me when I was struggling with leaving the Catholic church. The very next scripture is talking about leaving your graven images and your idols behind, to consider them impure and to scatter them and to say, be gone, the Lord spoke to me that day when I was reading and I knew exactly what I needed to do with all my images and statues of Mary. I just want to thank you, again for introducing me to Jesus and for showing me how I can talk and hear him for myself. There is nothing more sweeter than hearing from the Lord, personally! Have a WONDERFUL birthday! Love, Lori Bro. Buddy,
