Hi John and all the Doves....

I haven't even finished today's letters yet, and such a warm feeling came over me.  I realized that John has really started a true family in almost every sense of the word.  We are all "brothers" and "sisters" with the same Father.  I have just finished Paul Wilson's wonderful entry, and I enjoyed every word....it reminded me of a forward I received a few months back.  I looked for it on the internet, and by some minor miracle I found it:

I intend to finish reading all all today's entries before I end for the night, but I had to stop and thank John Tng for this wonderful site.  Do you see the overall picture?  Kids in a family argue, fight, share ideas, disagree, and from time to time they blow off steam.  Each kid is different in temperament and nature.  Some are easy going and managable, and some fly of! f the handle from time to time.  But that's what a family does!!!

One friend, not too long ago, told me she didn't want to be a Christian because they are so "boring" and dull.  She called us "holier than thou" kind of people without real emotion for living in this life.  This site is the perfect example of how wrong that opinion is!!!!  Wow!  If one looks at the overall picture of all the personalities who contribute their knowledge and opinions, a family picture is clearly seen.  We are all human beings, and God made each one of us exactly the way He wanted us to be.

Can you even begin to imagine all the fun we will have throughout Eternity when just our sin nature is gone???  I, for one, can't wait!!!

John, again, I thank you so very much for all of this.....and I think the other Doves feel the same way.

With much agape love,

Arlene
