One "gentleman" and I use that term very lightly actually calls me the "church lady" But he still will associate with me. He lost a wife to cancer and has been angry at God for a long time. Became a heavy drinker, into very ungodly behaviors, etc. But never hesitated to send me a good email when he ran across it. At least he was reading it. As time goes by, his 2nd wife had a cancer scare and I have seen a softening in his heart, and even and acknowledgement that God is good. I continue to pray that he will come back to God, and I hope my willingness to be their friends with continue to influence them. Keep up the good work AMY. I love you.Karen Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935020817999819408noreply@blogger.com
