I just returned from Israel yesterday. What a wonderful trip and expeience we all had. I enjoyed the 7 others on the trip with me..lots of laughter and tears. So many precious memories to hold dear for my life time.

Now to your Committment and Dedication letter. It is very well written and I agree with as much as I know. I do listen occasionally to the “white man” and he is extremely “uplifting” and see nothing wrong in that..don’t know the “black man”. I do believe in totally adhering to the written word of GOD and not deviating from it. But not to the point of getting legalistic. I grew up in a Pentacostal church, under a lot of legalism and I love my freedom in CHRIST. He is my everything. I love HIM with all my being. I would never want to hurt HIM like I have done in the past. I have to love others and hopefully, if they are in error, turn them back to the “straight and narrow”. I do not think that I could do this with my words, but with my love for them and when they see my heart for GOD and them..this will turn them. GOD was so patient with me to “conform” to learn a measure of obedience—and I have soo much more to learn. The only thing I know is that HE loves me and HE is patient and kind and will give us much time to grow up in HIM. BUT, HE is calling HIS own to become more like HIM, to come closer, to hear HIM speak sweet to our heart, to lead us, guide us and snuggle close to HIM. I can only speak for myself and hold myself accountable for my actions. I do not want to stand in judgement for those that are not walking the way I walk. I feel that there are a lot of mysteries for us to discover. HE is more patient than I would be–that is why HE is GOD and I am not. Further discussion would be my pleasure at our first opportunity. Love in Christ, Helen
