You see, it’s not just Me! I’m not the only one who has the experiences that I write about. A friend of mine wrote me a letter talking about some of his most recent ‘God Moments’ as he calls them.

You’re What?
You’re What? A very good friend of mine who usually has a comment about my posts has been strangely silent since my last one. He and his wife came to visit Cindy and I on our boat yesterday and I found out why. I was quite surprised when he said that my last Letter from Roscoe left him in a state where he “Just didn’t know what to say.” A condition that is quite unusual for this man. (Chuckle, chuckle)…
