Dear Sandra Jean,

I really appreciate your kind words, and I am so sorry if I misunderstood what was going on.  I was having a difficult few days in my own life, and I guess it just hit me the wrong way at the wrong time!!  From what you said to Mary Adams, in the post to all three of us, made me realize that maybe you were having a dark time in your own life, and that means that we were on the same page, and somehow connected in a way that actually turned out to be a good thing!!  God is awesome that way!! 

I had no idea that other people would read that letter to you and respond with such encouragement.  Just amazes me that from a moment of despair and darkness can come so much light!!  I pray that it also encouraged you in some way, because you can see how much you are appreciated and how many people really do hear what we each say!!

I thought your post and question about Lazarus were excellent, and I was more than happy to respond. My response came upon me so naturally and it felt so Holy Spirit directed that it was actually a thrill to share that with you.

I do not recall saying anything about the Jewish Wedding model when I answered your question, but I may have spoken about it in another post.  I just find it interesting that you mentioned it, as I posted a letter to Mathman asking a question about that very thing, right before I read your letter!!  So, to me it is another example of us being on the same page, even if it started out as a misunderstanding!!  How cool is that?!

I pray that your dark days are becoming brighter!  Thanks for forgiving my misunderstanding.  I feel like we were meant to go through this, and that I have made another wonderful connection to a sister in Christ.

Many blessing to you!!

Agape!!

Patti C.

RE:  LAZARUS and BOOK OF LIFE vs BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE

 Wow, that was awesome!  Thank you so much, Mary/Barry/Patti...much wisdom here...and it will take awhile for me to digest.  I sincerely appreciate each and every one of you! 

 Mary, once again, your words touched my heart.  Just what I needed after a few difficult days! 

• Barry, you shared quite a bit and for that I am truly grateful!  I agree with many of your posts, but I may end up disagreeing with one portion.  I have to raise my hand and say "guilty" when it comes to putting much emphasis on being "born again," even though I don't agree with the OSAS crowd. 
• Patti, thank you for joining the discussion even though you thought I had offended you.  I totally agree with you on the 7 years tribulation and our 7 years in the bridal chamber with Jesus Christ.  Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth. (Rev 3:10)

 Note to Patti:  Dear lady, what I posted on May 25 was not about you.  If someone else had sent that article in, I still would have been surprised that it got posted here at 5 Doves. John Tng, as moderator, does not post everything I send in, and that probably holds true for other posters as well.  However, I did feel the article was awful...because of its content, but that didn't mean you are awful!  Heaven forbid!  And I am very sorry you took offense!

 Reminder from John Tng:  "Please note that it is impossible for even two like-minded souls to agree on everything. You should read these letters with this in mind and pray for understanding from the Spirit of Truth."

 May our Creator/Savior/Redeemer God bless John Tng and all the faithful posters here at 5DOVES!
