Great Lord God,

Would You wrap Bro. Rick in The Comfort of your Spirit today, allowing him to feel

the warmeth of Your Covering. Surround him, O God, and drown out the coldness that

perhaps would make him feel so alone. Allow the grief he will go through, to come softly

and slowly so that he is able bear it. Hold Bro. Rick until once again time has healed his

broken heart. Thank You, dear Father, for Your loving compassion to Your children.

We humbly ask these things in Jesus Name!

Bro Rick,

I just want you to know that I was in the drive-thru line at McDonald's tonight getting supper for my son and his friend when I very clearly heard God speaking to my heart and telling me that you needed prayer. I took a moment right then and there to bring you before the Throne of Grace.

God cares very deeply about your pain, brother. He wants to be there to hold and comfort you.

Praying for you tonight...

Bro Rick, May you find the balm of Gilead a healing refreshment at this time.

Not that I know of and I do hope that he will at least be able to check in with us so he'll know we are still holding him up in prayer!

Amen. I prayed for him last night before I went to bed.

And made us His own
Now we're part of the fam'ly
That's on its way home

Chorus

And sometimes we laugh together
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we share together
Heartaches and sighs
Sometimes we dream together
Of how it will be
When we all get to Heaven
God's family

Verse 2

When a brother meets sorrow
We all feel his grief
When he's passed through the valley
We all feel relief
Together in sunshine together in rain
Together in vict'ry through His precious name

Chorus

And sometimes we laugh together
Sometimes we cry
Sometimes we share together
Heartaches and sighs
Sometimes we dream together
Of how it will be
When we all get to Heaven
God's family

Verse 3

And though some go before us
We'll all meet again
Just inside the city
As we enter in
There'll be no parting with Jesus we'll be
Together forever God's family

Blessings,

The words of this song is on my mind again this beautiful Saturday morning.

The outpouring of love and concern toward Bro.OneAccord and also

Bro. DWW, especially these past few days, has deeply touched my heart.

One thing noticed was that Bro. Rick was communicating and was also

connected in spirit with those ministering encouragement and loving con-

cern with prayers and words. We were so connected it we could feel

his deep pain. It caused me to weep often with him and others who were

also connected in spirit with him. Bro. Rick would express what was going

on at that time with him and it automatically brought back a response

from those who was listening for his heart. And all the time the Spirit of

the Living God flowing through these earthen vessels, pouring out of one

into another, and vice versa. It was beautiful and precious! If the LOVE

of Christ ever gets to flowing through His "whole" body as it should, this

world would never be the same. The LOVE of Christ shed abroad in our

hearts by the HOLY GHOST which is given unto us!

Blessings,

I just wanted to check in and say hello. Everything is okay. My family and friends just left, and I'm getting busy trying to straighten things up some. But, like a typical man, I don't really know where to start- byt, I'll start somewhere.

The service was beautiful. The kindness and comfort expressed by everyone really helped me thru the last couple of days. Gonna be rough, but, well, I've got a Friend here with me and all will be well.

I want all to know I apprecaite the flowers sent bu you- my AFF family. I made sure everyone knew that the flowers were sent by people I don't know from places I have never been. And that these people, are Chritains who truly care and have prayed earnestly for Lola, my self and for them. I am so touched by your Christian expression of love and, all of this, has changed my life. Hopefully, others will change as well, but theres definitely some changes in me.

First, I haven't been actively involved in church much. For one reason, there are no Apostolic churches in our immediate area. We've attended churches around and about some, but, well, they aren't Apostolic. I'll do some looking around and I'll find a church home.

Another thing- Gonna do some travelling. Always wanted to ses Arizona, and, as soon as I can rake up some money, gonna take a trip out west. Along the way, I'd like to put some faces on some of the names of the good people on this forum. Theres some I definitely want to meet- so, I may be in touch by PM.

One AFF "ambassador" that I was priveleged to meet was Bro. and Sis Raven. They were kind enough to attend the funeral and gravesite services, though they had to cope with this cold Sand Mountain wind. Then they came to our house and visited awahile. What fine and godly people. I was so honored to have them and felt like the Centurion who said "I am unworthy to have you in my home". Exceptional people- and it was an honor to meet them

And I deeply appreciate all of you. That first nigt I was alone after Lolas passing, I have to admit... I wouldn't have made it without your posts. I was lost. Still am... but your prayers, your posts, and your friendship gives me something to hold to. And- it will be well.

My condolances to the family of RevDDW. My prayers are with you that you will be blessed with God's comfort- that your tomorrows will be bright, and that eternal hope will give you strength in those lonely times.

Will post a picture of the flowers you sent when I can figure out how to get them off my cell phone. Thank you again and now.... lets finds something to talk about... Anybody heard anything new about Tulsa?
