I do hope that one day you'll be able to stomach the melodrama of the "Lloyds of London" movie.

God's Boys will be good boys!
I am thinking this morning about the touching scene when Mr. Angerstine first meets the little impoverished Jonathan and becomes his mentor. The affection that takes a man from a civil duty to a paternal duty was played so well in this movie. Every once in a while someone grabs our heart and doesn't let it go. Maybe, they don't know they have won our paternal prayers and concern. Providence has sent us brothers and sisters and father and mother, but grace and mercy weaves relations in Christ that are as dear and life-giving and soul-uplifting. We fear so, that some will take advantage of our heart's affection and this keeps us distant from one-another. I pray, dear boy, that you would be aggressive to carry your brothers in your heart in prayer and good relationship. I pray that you would nurture that relationship and expand your fellowship to develop yourself and others throughout life. Be encouraged to grow your fellowship.
