Thank you mad14kt. It surely is true - our "walk" and our "talk" speak loudly. May they be reflective of our Lord.

145789MORE.......IMITATING HIS VOICE Pastor Mark Thompson of Faribault, Minnesota, suffered terrible knife woundsfrom an assailant in his home, in October 1988. One of the manyconsequences of his difficult recovery was being forced to miss watchinghis son Chris run in the state cross-country championship meet. Pastor Thompson commissioned his brother Merv to go in his stead. Accordingto the account in the St. Paul Pioneer Press & Dispatch, Mark told hisbrother, "I can't be there to see Chris run. So I want you there at thebeginning of the race. Holler a lot.... Then at the end, I want you toreally cheer loudly. And I want you to make your voice sound like mine." Merv heeded the advice, and Chris ran a strong race, finishing second. Merv,also a pastor, discerned the theological truth in the story. "That's whatJesus wants us to do." he said. "Make your voice sound like mine." -- Author Unknown ;)
