Thank you for your courageous essay. Only those who are truly strong can share of themselves like this. It helped me see another aspect of God's merciful love for his children, which before was unknown to me.
Thank you, Keith, for your encouraging words. God broke me long ago of presenting myself as a teacher who hides behind my perceived image. Years ago, when I was a guest to a cabinet meeting with George W. Bush, before the meeting I was petrified. A seasoned member saw the fear, leaned over and said - "Be yourself, do what you do, it is why you are here." That five minutes changed everything. After a power packed meeting, the gentleman who encouraged me gave me a big smile and a thumbs up. That meeting is considered historical to this day. God releases power to those who confess their weaknesses.

Stay encouraged my friend. You have a wonderful ministry.
Bless you, Jim. No man can stand alone. A cord of three strands is not easily broken. A lesson I am required to learn daily.
One of my favorite verses.
