May 2012

sadly we have many in this country who really are Christians in name only and have no idea or intention of following the teachings of Jesus or the Golden Rule in any shape or form.

Thank you for making a difference William - please know that you are not alone and the people like this "pastor" are in the minority - it's just they scream and shout and the media will always chose to go with this rather than the quiet, going-about their business Christians caring for others.

One also can't help but wonder why these people have become so unhinged that some members of our society are being recognized - it really does go to their having deep problems and possible hidden feelings.

Thanks again William - you are a wonderful human being and a darned good Christian - keep up the good work!
