Last Sunday’s worship and fellowship was an awesome expression of farewell, and I was deeply moved. In our time together you have been a blessing from God to Loraine and me – in so many ways. Which is exactly how I try to say “Thank You” to you – St B-sians. Words alone, no matter how precise, cannot convey that appreciation.

So… I try to share that “Thank You” with all the heart and love of my being. After all that God is and does, that all too short phrase “Thank You” cannot portray the width and depth of my gratitude. Often during those times (as well as many others) I recognize that American English has many inadequacies in expressing our hearts. As they chase & tussle with each other, I have ample opportunity to be in God’s presence and converse.
