Dearest Jesus, I wanted to take keyboard in hand (as you know, we just about quit using pencils) to let you know I love you and to answer your many letters just in case thereís some I didnít get around to answering. Thanks for all of them. I read them often, I know you have been busy building new homes for saints and such, thank God the lines are not down and we can still talk person to person and it doesnít seem to interfere with the construction. I just want to tell you of how proud I am of you in all that you have accomplished here. Forgive me for not writing sooner, I will continue to keep all your precious letterís and to go over them often. Thanks again for all your gifts and letters, I know in your last letter you said you would be returning soon, I look forward to it, however there are some who are not yet acquainted with you and I want them to know what a friend you are so they can welcome your return also. I will try to tell them about you the best I can for I know that when you return all us Christians will be leaving at the same time to make the return trip with you. Our brother Paul said it would be in the twinkling of an eye so sounds like a hurried trip. Since it will be a fast trip I am already packed, actually I really donít have any luggage and in one of your letters you said everything would be furnished anyway. I do have the beautiful robe you gave me when we first met, it doesnít wear out or get dirty so I wear it around all the time, thanks so much for the robe as I didnít have the money too purchase one and you took my tattered and dirty one I had on when I met you and got rid of it, so I really wonít be bringing any luggage. I checked around here and thought about bringing a few things but thereís nothing really worth anything so it will just be me and my robe from here. The place you are preparing sounds nice, gold is hard to come by around here but one of your letters indicated you use it for pavement up there, we are still using asphalt! It stinks when you heat it up but it will do for now. I mentioned several people to you the other day about my concerns for them and I know you are concerned too and will take care of the matters. You said to call anytime so I will make full use of that. I will close for now and mail this, we donít need stamps we got a thing call E-mail, things sure have changed, all I have to do is press this little button and off it goes. I am sharing my letter to you with special friends this morning. All my Love, say hello to Dad and Mom and Sis, also greet Paul and all the rest for me. River | ||

River, Tears came to my eyes as I read your letter. Thanks for sharing it with us. And God, please tell all the saints in heaven that we will be there as soon as you come to get us. And thanks for River and all the rest here on FAF. You are always awesome. Diana | ||

I just read where one of the saints were commenting on IJ. Comment: The whole doctrine of 1844 and the IJ is to explain how God plans to 'fix' what is 'wrong' in heaven. I will bring my Craftsman Wrenches. River | ||

Thanks River, what a great letter. Your mention of the E-mail button made me think of that "EASY" button in the Staples ads. That's what Jesus has given us - an "EASY" button to get saved - it's Him. We only need to push the button, open the door, look at the serpent on the staff. Why oh why can't all of us just believe in His words? Why do we think we have to have it our way (religious trappings), a formula for salvation that makes us feel deserving? Just push the button stupid!

A "saint" wrote that the IJ is to explain how God plans to "fix" what is 'wrong' in heaven. That is blasphemous. What will be thought of next. Every time I hear something about the IJ it is changed. Thank You God, I do not believe that any more. You are Holy, perfect and AWESOME. You are the everlasting God. Diana | ||

Well Dianna, The whole IJ thing is Blasphemous. It's an aberrant teaching that is completely foreign. River | ||
