You are truly doing God’s work. It radiates out of you and shines on others. Your relentless pursuit of doing what is right, just because that is what we are supposed to do is an inspiration.

I am like the people you speak of in your article, very passionate and good intentioned, but shaky taking those first steps. I have found that you give people like us a way to serve, share and we flourish, ask us to plan and make it happen, well we lack, I don’t know what exactly, but sometimes faith in putting it in God’s hands and He will make it work, it is not us.

There is a new movement in Rockford that I am very passionate about and they are having a fund raiser. I don’t have contacts at Rock River Times, but thought they warrant an article for doing the right thing just out of showing God’s Love. Safe Families is doing a bike ride fund raiser the end of May and I don’t know how they are advertising or getting the word out, but I am hopefully attaching their brochure and hope you know someone to pass on this neat ministry. I am sending Robb your article promoting he write to you.

I am not a writer, but I just had to get this information out of me.

Hope something comes of this.
