		<description>Found you site on a Landon search.  Landon did a Feeling Good about workshop in 1978 in Burlington, MA and more in 79 &#38; 80 in Lowell.  I remember so many moments
with him and so many of his observations, encouragements and insights.</description>

		<description>A few things I think are priceless:

non-coerced hugs from my teens
crossword puzzles with my hubby
a pile of new books to read from the library
sunny, 80 degree weather (today, in fact!)
sitting around the family dinner table long after the food is gone and laughing and enjoying each other</description>

		<description>hey, if you really want some beauty and rivers of love
check out Oregon. 

One of my very favorite things is going to the river to trout fish. The babbling river, the beautiful trees, and mountains all around, and the occasional tug on my line. 

God is alive in the river

amen

The other is a good lightning storm with lots of thunder (sadly there are none of these here.)

		<description>Practically all the things I really value in my life have no purchase price.
My mother's tears.
Memories of my daughter's wedding.
The love of my wife and kids.
Breaking the bread and sharing the wine with Wes Netz.
A toddler's uncontrollable laughter (which, BTW, is the sound I think will greet us at Heaven's gate).
Having a mate for life whom I can trust with my own soul.
Memories of my Daddy laughing so hard he had to sit down.
The smells after a mountain thunderstorm.
A hard day's labor put in well.
Special friends coming to visit.
Fishing.
A worship service with lots of hugs.
I could go on and on...
But isn't life, and our appreciation of it, supposed to place value on things God made for us to enjoy?  Somehow, I just know that when I read:
"Be still, and know that I am God..."
He is telling me to stop what I am doing and pay attention to everything and everyone around me, all witnessing to his love and consideration and thoughtfulness on my behalf.
God, who made it all, is showing me who he is, over and over.
He loves us all so much!</description>

		<description>Dear Mike,
Back in 1971 Landon Saunders used to preach and teach at our summer campaigns in St. Louis, MO.  Some of my fondest memories of Landon were eating at Steak and Shake at 2:00 a.m. in the morning after baptizing folks at one of the local church buildings following his meetings.  He was and is a great story teller!  I have lost track of Landon over the years.  Please greet him in the Lord for me.  In fact, give him my e-mail (brad1125@swbell.net).  Back in 1999, my daughter, Hannah, who was a student at Lipscomb at that time and attended Ottercreek came home to tell me about a great guest speaker she heard there named "Landon Saunders"!  What a small world it is sometimes.

		<description>I have a running list of the things I love...some are duplicates :). 

Some of mine are: 

- Ghana (we're going again for July 5-20 campaign, and received word that the excitement of the coming campaign has already resulted in 3 souls being saved!  Keep us in your prayers.)

- road trips with my son
- being silly with my kids
- framing a window
- being with fellow believers
- a warm bed
- washing dishes (calming for some reason :) )
- rain on a metal roof
- quiet time with my husband

Just a big thank you for being such a blessing to my sister and her family.  I thank God for you and the brethren at Highland.</description>

		<description>I will never forget the series Landon Saunders did about 20 years ago--The Heart of the Fighter. Wow. I would love to go through that series again. I can hear the song in my head now. 

There's a beautiful place on the Pecos River near Cowles New Mexico that I was reminded of when reading about sitting beside a stream and listening to the music of the water. And the smell of the forest. But then there's the ocean. What an amazing artist God is.</description>

		<description>Off-subject.  I had guacamole for breakfast and thought of you.  Avacados were on sale at Kroger, and I couldn't resist.  :-)</description>

		<description>Tim, you crack me up - The owner/chef of River Run is a transplanted Mississippian!

Mississippi-raised chef Jimmy Kennedy has brought outstanding Southern fare to Plainfield, VT. Fried catfish, hush puppies, collard greens, and whiskey cake are just a few of the dishes at this restaurant. Try catfish and grits for breakfast.

It all part of that communist philosphy of multiculturalization!</description>

		<description>I'm sorry J. Peirpoint, but as a true Southerner, I resent your using "catfish", "barbecue" and "Vermont" in the same post.  Those are ours!  

BTW: Has anyone tried the maple syrup at Bubba's Fillin Station, Bait Shop &#38; Diner?</description>

		<description>Mike, my brother-in-law has spent extended time with Landon and my husband some short times.  We were living in Houston and newly married and walked into church with our toddler son and Landon broke away from a conversation and engulfed us in his arms and said I know that you are Danleys. Knelt down on one knee and spoke to Corey in such a tender voice.  Corey listened.  Thanks for bringing back that memory.</description>

For some reason, fountains going full blast during rain storms.

When my wife laughs.</description>
