Gary,

You study so hard and write so much!

I am extremely impressed with what you do.

Also, I do not mean this in a bad or sarcastic way:

but I believe that you write like a poet.

Charles also writes like a poet, but in a completely different way than you do.

His poetry is in the choice and flow of the words that he uses and in the patterns that he places them in.

Your poetry is in the choice, placement, patterns, and motion of your entire thoughts.

It is very different, but utterly refreshing to read what you write and what Charles writes.

Again, I'm not saying this in a bad or sarcastic way.

Your particular abilities, approach, talent, and gifts:

wouldn't it be wonderful to think that you have been brought to such a time as this?

Keep going, and keep loving Jesus,

the LORD bless you my brother,

Gino

Charles,

You also are a great blessing to read.

As I mentioned above, you write like a poet.

It is a beautiful thing to be able to use our language as if you are singing a song.

What a loss to those of us who think that something is wrong with what we read,

when it is actually something better about what we read.

Your poetic way of making a point, may not rhyme, but it has meter, it has color, and it has music to it.

Please don't give up, and keep loving Jesus,

and may the King himself bless, keep, and encourage you,

Gino
