  I have been going through some of my older Way tapes and found some that we produced for station WNBC New York in 1975.
  You were teaching on one tape I have .At that time you were limb leader in DC.Your teaching was super and you made a comment about we don't get high on LSD our high is LJC
  (Lord Jesus Christ).Hearing you teach God's Word and that LJC statement blessed me big time.
  If you do not have a copy of your sharing and the music let me know and I will put it on CD for you.For a tape that old the qualty is pretty good.It's a classic even VP is on that broadcast doing a poem..
  God Bless
  Ted.

  This is just a fun one for a man who loves to dance and for a man who loves to sing,
  
  I just liked it and it reminded me of the start - the beginning - a time where we all were. It's from my first book of poems I bought for myself after we started our dialog so long ago.
  
  Good Poems Garrison Keillor
  
  Homage: Doo - Wop
  Joseph Stroud
  
  Theres so little sweetness in the music I hear now,
  no croons, on doo- wop or slow ones where you could
  hug up with someone and hold them against your body.
  feel their heart against yours, touch their cheek
  with your cheek - and it was OK, it was allowed,
  even the mothers standing around at the birthday party,
  the rug rolled back in the living room, didn't mind
  if you held their daughters as you swayed to the music,
  eyes squeezed shut, holdig each other, and holding on
  to the song, until you almost stopped moving,
  just shuffled there, embracing, as the Moonglows
  and Penguins crooned, and the mothers looked on
  not with disapproval or scorn, looked on with their eyes
  dreaming as if looking from a thousand miles away, as if
  from over the mountain and across the sea, a look
  on their faces I didn't understand, not knowing then
  those other songs I would someday enter,- not knowing
  how I would shimmer and writhe, jig like a puppet
  doing the shimmy- shimmy -kokokop, or glide from turn
  to counterturn within the waltz, not knowing
  how I would hold the other through the night
  and across the years, holding on for love and dear life,
  for solace and kindness, learning the dance as we go,
  learning from those first, awkward, shuffling steps,
  that sweetness and doo- wop back at the beginning

  I don't know you personally, but have known of you since 1973. I remember hearing you teach at HQ in the early days and always loved your heart for our Father. I just read your post on Steve Morrison's page and wanted you to know that what you wrote really blessed me. Psalm 27 has always been my favorite, verse 4, in particular. I've often thought "what else is there, but to Love God, dwell in His tabernacle and enjoy His beauty?" It's actually one of the verses I went to during the more turbulent times in our ministry. Its wisdom has guided my decisions. I've never found another place where the Word lives like in The Way, so I've continued to enjoy the beauty of the Lord in His family among the believers of The Way.
  
  Your post to Steve was very kind and I see that you continue to minister. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your life, and thank God for you, your ministry, and your beautiful family.
  
  God bless you abundantly.

  Thanks so much for the name correction on the photo. I don't why I was thinking Trish Bishop when I posted that. Tish/ Trish, I guess :) Also It's nice to know where Debbie Bowen is. Would you be so kind as to give her my warmest regards the next time you have opportunity to see her? And last but not least, it's a joy to have your participation here. I've read some of your blog comments and enjoyed your heart and thought. Great to catch up with you after quite some time!
  
  Lovingly,
  Kathy

  Thanks for your tribute to our new President and to Dr. King, my brother. I left a comment there.
  
  As to the Dead Sea / Jordan River connection, that poem does not ring a bell. If you find it, I hope you'll turn me on to it!

  i reply with tears in my eyes. it is so amazing to me that God works in so many mysteris ways. i had no idea about what your family was going through at the time i sent you my comment. my love and prayers are with you and your family at this time. may God bless and comfort you all.
  please for give my spelling, it is not my long suite...oops, see what i mean, i am not a poet, a commander of the english lang... but i can write a song once in a while. which brings me to ask you something. i am looking for a song to add to my next cd, not written by me but by someone else, its got to be light, maybe funny, or serious, but with a david bailey flavor. you got anything like that!
  Lonnell. I have the whole cd "for this i have Jesus" that i posted here, i believe you will love it. i will send you a copy if you give me your address. please see my email address on my page and let me know....you are loved very much. DB

  Hi Lonnell,
  Emerson wrote:"When a man lives with God,his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook and the rustle of the corn." This has always reminded me of you. God Bless You my brother
