as many of you know, i have hurt my right hand pinkie and am finding it difficult to do anything, let alone type. the timing of this is especially troublesome because my first semester in school since 24 years ago, started today...
also, as many of you have heard, i had the opportunity to reach out to James Ferrell and share my feelings regarding his books. he reponded, and that is something that i would like to share with you:
Rhonda,
Thank you for sending me your remarkable story. I always stand amazed at the Lord's merciful work in each of our lives. Sometimes, in the middle of it, the merciful gestures are unrecognized. In retrospect, however, they testify of a patient and loving father. I will treasure your story. And what a wonderful thing to have a son like your Taylor, who is serious about serious things. I'm sure that the strength he has received through hardship will serve him and others well on his mission.
Thanks again.
Jim
i just wrote tay and shared this response with him as well. honestly? i'm so grateful that i've had the chance to tell a man that made such a difference in my life, exactly that! it began with my sister Candice, placing the book into my hands and from there, straight into my needy soul.
so, with school and a pinkie gone awry, my entries will be a rare occurance- and keeping up on the blogs you write as well, but i know that you will be supportive and at the same time you will know how much i love and appreciate you.
rhonda
