Afterwards and before it got dark, we took a drive to see where your church building is located. We got out and peered through the front door and to see what time the services start.

I just want you to know that I know you feel heartache a lot being a pastor, but you will never know how many hearts you touch when you write certain articles and post them here. It is not enough to just be a pastor, but to be a disciple of Christ is what is most important. While I do not agree with some of your political views, I believe that you are a disciple of Christ in that you have love towards people. I believe that you reach out to people who hurt. Political views are unimportant because politics are not absolute and subject to change as the political winds change every four years. But discipleship to Christ is absolute and most important in my humble opinion.

The Memphis area is a large and dangerous place and not every man wants to minister in a dangerous place. I just want you to know that you and your family are special and to encourage you that you are making a difference in a place that desperately needs more people like you to love with Christlike love to a people who need Christ.

Thanks AYR! I've been out of town for several days and just read this. What day did you stop by? We live in the house behind the church.
