These nuggets have susstained me through death of parents , son and grandson,a daughter with bipolar along with my husbands cancer twice . Those Nuggets of Gold have made it impossible for anything or anybody to rob me of my joy. Because of Jesus resurection I can go directly to God with my Psalm prayers. The curtain was torn away and Becaude he lives i live also.PraIse God Jan, Loved this piece especially about the story about Hazelyn MCcomas.

It is Parochial and tribal and we are frequently the focus of "town meetings". We live in one village but are responsible for more than 16 plus projects for the entire 35 mile long island. Recently questions of seeming inquiry have been difficult to answer as they seemed to have hidden meaning. This sermon addresses just that situation. When we are asked to explain what we are doing to help them, we have attempted to explain the whole of our mission...when "C" would be to answer with the question, "what are you doing to help yourself? Since our Sunday sermons are generally in a language we only partially understand I often save yours until Sunday am....thank you, especially for the insight in this one. Shirley Jan,

It was good to hear your voice the other night also. Thank you! Peace. Brett Kelly Jan,
