Steve,

Thought . . . I just thought I'd tell ya about Eric. And Carol also. Eric is from a city 30 miles or so from here. He's actually a member of a full gospel church there, though if God would release him He would be a member of Joel's Place. Since we have services every Sat. not on Sun. Eric is there nearly every Sat. night. I also got to know Eric since when I was in the recording studio doing a couple worship albums (CDs or whatever) Eric came to intercede. He's 25 years old, and every so often I would let him preach at Joel's place. Well, to get to the point, about three weeks ago Eric left for Toronto. He was enrolled in their school of ministry. It's a 5 month program. So after he had been there a week, he called up here freaking out. He'd gotten three gold fillings! This hit pretty close to home for all of us. You know since we know Eric and he is not a flake. I can't say I understand, but I believe God is trying to get our attention, and that this only points to far, FAR greater things to come!

God Bless Ya to the Max!
