I was just thinking about how much I have been encouraged by many persons I don't even know personally (though some I feel like I do).  I really believe that the Lord has brought me to them or them to me (their books, writings or songs).  And of course, this does not discount the people in my life whom I love dearly and appreciate and also miss.

I have been privileged to hear from people from all over the US and the globe.  The Lord has really blessed me in this as it has contributed so much to the renewing of my mind.  How awesome it is that He can use people in this way.

Thank you Lord for all those You have used to bring encouragement and enlightenment, into my life.
