'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid...'"<br />There is, of course great delight to be found in sharing in the fellowship of faith and worship when gathered with others of the family of God; but even that finds strength in the depth of the individuals' relationships with our Heavenly FatherPeter Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529992196266271463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-10166550628279513892010-05-07T07:25:56.602-04:002010-05-07T07:25:56.602-04:00Patricia,

My husband did the same. Now after all these years, with the sexual abuse scandal taking place in the church, I have been unable to attend. <br /><br />Every morning, every night, and several times during the day, I visit with my Friend. This has not been easy but both my husband and I feel it is necessary to take a stand. I'm sad to say that no one else has noticed except my Friend. But then...who else matters?Dolores Ayottehttp://doloresayotte.comnoreply@blogger.com
