Soon we will be seeing His Holy face, and so many of the beliefs and
doctrines we have held over the years will be burned away, and we
will be left with all the ones that are founded upon Him and His
word.  There are many things that over the years I have been taught;
some good and founded upon solid ground, but others that I have taken
under my wing that are contrary to other brothers and sisters
thoughts and beliefs.  It will soon be made right, and I will know
what was solid and what wasn't.  I like to think that I have made
myself ready for that, but how ready can one be to stand in the
presence of the Lamb of God.  We must cling to His mercy and grace.
All of our efforts to live holy lives wouldn't stand the fires of
judgement, "But God!!!"  That about sums it up.  "Who is RICH in
mercy!"  Oh how I am depending upon that statement.  Praise His Holy
Name!

Thanks John for opening up this avenue for us to express our hearts
to one another.  May God bless you.  Thank you Jesus for all these
letters that have been a source of encouragement and help during the
rough times.  We Love You!!
