Pastor John:
This weekend was wonderful. Trying to still take it all in. 🙂 It is very humbling, and I know He is patient, but I am praying for Him to fix what He needs to in me, and to take all the lingering effects of christianity out of me. I remember Jim asking a question at a “Newcomers” class in this church in Charlotte. The ass’t pastor put down Jim’s question. (I realize now the pastor probably did not know the answer) But the pastor made the one asking the question very uncomfortable. And we could go on and on telling about our experiences in christianity.
I especially wanted to mention, I loved it when we were sitting around after we had lunch, just talking. Those are very precious times to me. Sister Willie calls those, “Fireside Chats.” (I believe a past president called them that also. :))
Thanks again for lunch. We did not want to leave either. 🙂
Love,
Diane

I really meant it when I said, “I don’t want you all to leave!” Ha! The love of God is overwhelming!
This is the most wonderful family in the world. I am so thankful for you all. It was humbling to have you all stay and spend more time here, together, and it touched me that so many even wanted to! Oh my, I pray that I am thankful enough for the family God has created here. There is just something very special about it.
