Thank you for taking the time to write me. I’m excited to know of your ministry. Where are you located?
Your words are like nectar. Thank you for taking the time to write them and to visit the site. I appreciate it so much. You have just blessed my soul. Write me and tell me all that you’ve been doing the past few years! I’m sure it’s been a lot. Check out grammyspeaks.wordpress.com and see the newest love of my life, Hezekiah, Jamie’s son.
What can I say….after all these years you are still BEAUTIFUL! You’re smile can fill a room. Thank you for all the wonderful things you taught me while at UD. I still remember how you would stop rehearsal at the drop off a hat if our praise was ragged and you would lead us in prayer immediately. :). I sure do miss hearing you sing. I search the website from time to time just to hear your voice. Tell your hubby and children I said hello. i can’t believe they are adults either.
Hey Sis! Have I told you lately that you are awesome?!?! I am so very proud of you and your many outstanding accomplishments. Congrats on your latest achievement-receiving your Masters in Theological Studies. Much love and success-God Bless!
