We have remained friends through the years...I did not take up for his evil and he knew that but he also knew I loved him and his family very much. Today he works in another work however he often comes to see us when we are in the area where he lives...

Sometimes our paths may part...that happens to us all...however we can leave a good memory if possible...

Has he been restored and now "profitable... for the ministry" as Paul said about Mark about 20 years after his defection and Paul's subsequent blow up with Barnabas over him?
