Until Our Next Rendezvous....




Pat,

I'm at a loss for words.  Your passing is difficult for me to process.  It is painful.  But I know that the pain I feel pales in comparison to that which Anna & Tommy feel, not to mention the pain you endured so gracefully over the past year.  You, brother, were and are an inspiration!  You always have been!

I am a conservative.  My worldview is biblically based and for that I make no apologies.  That doesn't mean, though, that I have it all figured out.  I don't, not even close!  Thankfully, reading scripture and praying for discernment opens my eyes and reveals to me when I am thinking and acting in a self-righteous manner.  Or, if you like, thinking and acting in "black and white".  However, the bible is clear that there are black and white issues and scripture demands we be aware of those ... and to stand firm in t...
