When I heard you would be there for questions this afternoon, I went then, also, and you both made a very good first impression. It was refreshing that you told the truth in love without resorting to P.C.C. (Politically Correct Christianeze) and that you could make us think and laugh all while maintaining a great sense of humor. I'm hoping and praying this is where the Lord is leading me and my family, but, regardless, I'm glad we're family. I've been, and will be, praying for you and your family... -kkaylynn55https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627864066478800782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20497276.post-82315860598180515422009-01-07T12:06:00.000-08:002009-01-07T12:06:00.000-08:00Dr. Hegg,VERY much looking forward to you & Ch...Dr. Hegg,<BR/>VERY much looking forward to you & Cherylyn arriving @ GBC. I know the transition is bittersweet but my wife, Sara, & I are ECSTATIC! Frankly, I'd become concerned that a seeker-sensitive &/or emergent type fella was going to be presented, but after listening to a few of your sermons on-line & reading your blog, I'm breathing alot easier. I hope you all are as enthusiastic as we.<BR/>My prayers for you & your family as well as your family @ Northpoint. I certainly do thank them for their part in "growing" the man you are.<BR/>God's Blessings & Grace to You Both<BR/>Homer TempleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20497276.post-62243349803692607962009-01-04T23:15:00.000-08:002009-01-04T23:15:00.000-08:00Dear David,This evening I put my son and his wife ...Dear David,<BR/>This evening I put my son and his wife on a plane headed for his permanent duty station in North Carolina. Although we have been preparing for this for some time, it doesn't make it any easier knowing this is his path away from from us; away but not apart. He will always be a part of our family; we love him even though seeing him in person will now be relegated to special occasions. As I sat listening to you this morning, I saw a parallel between him and you. You and Cherylyn are a part of our church family. Although you are leaving us to serve God in another church family, you are still a part of ours. I pray that God blesses you and Cherylyn and touches your new church family through you as He has here. I will miss your teaching, your wit but most of all the blessing I've received through you.

We at Grace have truly come to understand in a much fuller sense Jesus as our Good Shepherd over the past 2 years. That He has even brought growth in the Grace body during this time reminds me how shamefully weak my faith is. How precious we are to our Lord! <BR/><BR/>I am resisting the temptation to invite you to be a Friend on Facebook (I mean, really, we haven't even met!). But hopefully, we will have the opportunity to meet when you arrive in Santa Clarita.<BR/><BR/>Your fellow Italian enthusiast <BR/>(Montepulciano is my favorite),<BR/>Stephanie LippencottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20497276.post-29206423854324531062008-12-26T11:31:00.000-08:002008-12-26T11:31:00.000-08:00Dear David and Cherylyn,Having been in those same ...Dear David and Cherylyn,<BR/>Having been in those same shoes many years ago when our girls were very young, we understand your feelings well. We were moving across the country, leaving family and friends behind for the great "unknown"! For us, all the boxes were already packed and ready for the movers...including all the decorations...and the only tree we had was a 2 ft high "blink on/blink off" tree that some kind soul brought to us from the market. We laid a green towel on an ottoman and set the tree there with presents around it. We laugh about it now, but it was right out of "A Christmas Story"!! (We promised the girls that "next year" we would have the BIGGEST tree our new home would allow...and boy, did we ever!) The thing that made it ok, of course, was knowing it was God who was leading- and we chose to follow.<BR/>May this poignant Christmas be one that reveals hidden blessings and much tenderness of heart. "Lead on, Lord Jesus, lead on"!<BR/>A very joyous Christmas to you and yours from us and ours....<BR/>Nancy and Jim Gabor<BR/> <BR/>PS I LOVE Jan Karon! ngGrandma Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555060303312949253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20497276.post-14839517317891049822008-12-25T12:13:00.000-08:002008-12-25T12:13:00.000-08:00Praying for you both, and for Northpoint, especial...Praying for you both, and for Northpoint, especially for this Christmastime!<BR/>I have really enjoyed your Advent 2007 sermons!<BR/>Grace to you,<BR/>Deanna, from GBCDeedieLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349902978700433942noreply@blogger.com
