I know it's been a while since I've blogged on anything, mainly because of my schedule and trying not to succumb to exhaustion.  To all my friends here on MyChurch, I just want to say you are more than just a name/photo on my page.   You have been a blessing to me in so many ways and I just want to publicly state that you've touched my heart.

In your own way through your blogs, you have allowed me to share apart of you, your world, your walk with the Lord and for me this is special.   I'm very visual so when you write your blogs, I see it through images.   I see the warmth, the laughter, the inquisitive,  the caring, the hopeful, the funny and the love that oozes from each blog.  

Most importantly, you have allowed me to be myself, and I words cannot express how much that means to me. (Yes, I still hate to write)   For example, many times on the E-telecast, I've made mistakes…. i.e.; saying go to John 15:6, when I meant John 15:16… just to name a few, and you have overlooked my human-ness.    Your comments, your emails with words of encouragements always came just at the time that I needed them the most.   Doing the telecast is a lot of work, and once or twice I thought about taking it down…  (now you know that's an attack straight from the enemy), thinking that is wouldn't matter, because not many people are watching it.   But I thank God, for the Holy Spirit who teaches me that it's not my job to worry about who watching, but it's my responsibility to be obedient.   Then along comes another email, another thank you and God letting me know that this work is not in vain.

I want to give each of you a shout-out by name, but I dare not, for fear of leaving someone out.   Just know that I appreciate you for who you are.  Know that I do include you in my prayers, and even though I haven't had time to read all your blogs,  lately, that I do think of you because you have touched my heart in a special way.
