Great thoughts on Lent. Keep them coming.
David, thanks for this. What a great way to start the day.
Dear Pas. David,
Greetings! I was encouraged with your night time thoughts!Thanks
blessings to you, A
David,
I just found your nighttime thoughts website and really enjoy it. I was music minister at FBC Brownwood from 96-2001. Came to love the church, the university and the town. I now live near Aviano, Italy where my wife teaches 5th grade at the air base. I lead worship for the contemporary service at the chapel.
You might have heard of me when I was part of Gammill & Murphy, Russ Murphy and I traveled the country throughout the 80s doing camps, revivals, missions, etc.
God bless your ministry here in Europe,
Sincerely,
Bill Gammill
God bless your ministry in Germany
It’s sad to know how the number of God-fearing Europeans has been declining… Through your ministry, may this will change
As my bachelor degree is in German Literature, I went to Germany for short Sommer Schule in Muenchen, so… kinda knew how ’surprised’ they were, when I asked them which church I could go to
ethne to ethne,
Beth
Thank you for posting these thoughts my friend. I do find it quite wonderful to read them late at night when just about to go off to bed. Will look forward to seeing you soon.
Met you in Seminary when you’d bring the dog Gretchen out to play. Long time ago. I read you are the writer for our Sun. school lessons for Dec.
I heard your wife at a conference would you have an email address for me to correspond please. Thank you,Tammy Coberly
David, I was glad to see your blogsite on Linkedin. I am suggesting your “Grace in Our Time of Need” blog to be used in part or whole in our weekly publication, “Outbacker’s Babblings,” here at The Baptist Home, Ozark, MO, where Emma Jean and I are living in the independent living apartments outback of the residential care main building, hence the “Outbacker” title.
Seems like a long time since Singapore days. I still keep active in FBC, Springfield, and almost annual trips to “E. Asia.”
Blessings,
Herb
