About Me
Sozo:
Beloved,
Do you and the others that live nearby ever get together for Bible study or to socialize?
Beloved:
Dear Soza
Three to four that live up north meet every Sunday in Hendersonville. I live way south...I have not been able to make it up there very much this last year because of the my job travel and now the gas prices .

Hey Jason--
I see now that it was your introduction I had read that mentioned the Great Smokey Mountains that I had referenced in my post with my pictures! I knew I'd recently seen that-sorry it took so long for me to realize it. I just wanted to say thank you for your great website/youtube work also. Wonderful companion site to link with Ray's! I feel I might can share with some family who aren't ready for the direct and fearless teaching style that is Ray's gift. I shared Ray's "Encouraging Word About Death" paper with my sister and mom, and it opened an e-mail conversation with my sister. She agreed that it made sense, but it was hard to understand because it contradicts what we were taught as children that when good people die, they go to heaven. I responded back with the scripture that says that no man has ascended but Jesus (John 3:13), and then tried to explain how the whole rapture thing didn't make sense either, because then why would Jesus be returning for his saints if they were already with him in heaven? (She had given me the "Left Behind" book series a couple of years ago). She didn't even want to go there; her response was to the effect of, sometimes, we just won't understand everything, but we just have to believe because it's in the Bible. Oh how I wanted to "battle back" and say, show me where it says that there are people in heaven right now....WHERE? But...that is not what God intended for me to do. I do believe your site might just be what the doctor ordered.
Thanks again Sozo!
Love in Christ,
Vangie
Sozo:
Thanks for the comments Vangie. You are exactly right about my site. It is kind of like an introduction to the truth. Then hopefully they will follow some of the links here to Ray's site. You are welcome to share it with whomever you like.
Do you guys live close to the smokies or were you just here visiting?
