Comments on: RICHARD - Hello. My Name Is … http://blog.therefugeonline.org/2010/10/25/richard-hello-my-name-is-%e2%80%a6/ Thu, 17 May 2012 23:37:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Deb Massey http://blog.therefugeonline.org/2010/10/25/richard-hello-my-name-is-%e2%80%a6/comment-page-1/#comment-2248 Deb Massey Sat, 30 Jul 2011 16:57:03 +0000 http://blog.therefugeonline.org/?p=629#comment-2248 I'm wondering if we may have met you before we moved from Colorado last May. I'm afraid that we did not, and that is our loss. HOWEVER, (and this is the part I love) we WILL get a chance to meet each other, if not soon, than eventually! No doubt we'll get to hear more of what God is doing in you on this journey, and then much more when we get there. And if you don't mind, I'd like to call you, Brother? ~Deb I’m wondering if we may have met you before we moved from Colorado last May. I’m afraid that we did not, and that is our loss.

I used to listen to a radio show back in my more conservative days... I still listen to the recordings sometimes just to hear the very opening words she always said when she began--- "you are loved with an everlasting love...." Elisabeth Elliot-- I love that lady, even though she is very conservative for me! Those are the words I greet you with today Richard. Thank you for being who you are and for being such a good friend through such a tumultuous time. I love the scripture reference-- "graven on the palm of his hand"-- we're right there! we are graven into his hand! I love it... it makes me feel really a part of him, really his, you know?
