Love that song. Dean Ellenwood sang it. If anyone knows a link to it, please, I've got to get my fix.

Good grief, man! You are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel! You're not going to heaven because you are a Lutheran. I assume you've heard of Jesus Christ. If he is your savior, HE is why you are going. Did you know that one of Martin Luther's dying requests was that people NOT name a church after him? Heresy and blasphemy, by the way, is saying ANY man is God.

Man, that coffee looks good! Got a recipe for my wife? We'll send you back one! Thanks for the welcome. It's wonderful to talk with people, it's like gold -no matter whether they're boozed, busted, or spotted with grease! None of that seems to have affected their holy spirit (surprise, surprise!), and it's nice to converse with people I know who have it. God bless this site, and everyone on it, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Give yourself a cookie. Might as well get a cookie now....live for the moment, right? Don't expect rewards for your holy position when you stand before Jesus Christ. If all you can come up with is bottles of wine to brag about, before people who have jeopardized their lives for the truth, well, then, you just better drink those bottles of wine.

ExWayCorps and ALL, I was there too. The account is real, not made up. I lived in Lion's Gate Apartments, and a WOW family there got me into the Word. To give you more details that could NOT be contrived, "L" got me into the Word-a beautiful dark-haired girl with a tender, sensitive heart of gold. We went roller skating, where she witnessed to me. "A" was a tremendous woman of God from Georgia, who "mothered" me in the Word and taught me Christ in You! "S" was a cute little rocker from Shaker Heights in Cleveland. We used to compare songs and rock groups - she worked at the record store. Marsha was indeed their WOW coordinator, who ran the Class I took. I became a PFAL grad and a Penn State grad that fall! Jim K. from there and I went WOW a year later. Love to find that guy. Trace A. and I were very close friends, who I knew for quite a number of years after that. While I wasn't in the coach with a camera to satisfy you, I believe Marsha's account -there are too many small details there that I know are true for it to be ANYBODY but her. The weekend VP visited was my birthday. Being young in the Word, and not wanting to disappoint my parents, I went home to NW PA that weekend. I remember how two of the women, one of them Marsha, were before that weekend, and what they were like afterwards. Unfortunately, the account is sad and true. Marsha, "L", if you are out there know that David loves you. I love you very much, and thank you for giving me the greatness of the Word. And folks, as I do the Old Testament David, I accept him where he was right, and reject him where he was wrong. The mainstream denominations, especially the Catholic Church, have done more than VP or David multiplied by 1,000. Yet I do not hear the railing accousations, the discounting of them, like I hear about The Way. No. I am not in The Way -I have marked and avoided it! But the Catholic Church, despite it's molestation of nuns and children, despite it's torture, despite it's wrong doctrine, took care of God's People for over 1,000 years. So, too, The Way International gave us God's Word like it hasn't been known for centuries, and it had an effect on every Sunday-sleeping pile of stained glass and brick on the earth -if only to stir them from their sleep and put them on their toes a little. And believer, just because the Twig Hopper isn't rolling, people need God's Word. America is facing challenges which will likely rock the whole world and have an effect on every man, woman, and child on the face of the earth. Do not put your light under a bushel basket. Do not sit and wait for Jesus (because if you do, he just might ask you why that's all you did when HE RETURNS). Don't wait for Ralph, Vince, John, Craig, or Rosalee. STAND UP AND LOVE. STAND UP AND SHARE GOD'S WORD. Agape, David

Funny picture! I WAS THERE! Lucinda Connors got me into the Word at Lion's Gate apartments. Marsha (at that time, Marhsa Hague) was the WOW coordinator. I myself am looking for Jim Knepp and Trace Allen. Most pivotal and best time of my life. Would LOVE to hear from anyone there at that time. Leave message, can also contact me at hissondavid@yahoo.com
