and shown there as an index of your own thoughts and feelings, what care, what caution would you exercise in the selection!
Now this is what God has done. He has placed before you the immortal minds of your children, more imperishable than the diamond, on which you are are to inscribe every day and every hour, by your instructions, by your spirit or by your example, something which will remain and be exhibited for or against you at the judgment.

This post struck me, as I just came back from a visit to your home on Wed.
We spent the night with just your kids, visiting, laughing, sharing their world, and the influence that you and LeeElla, as well as DonnElla and Leroy and family have made on them. Their application of discipline in the performing arts, the environment they have grown up in and a loving dose of Christ throughout, has brought to fuition four young people that I am not only proud of, but facinated by. Forgive the loss of words to explain the warmth, wit, creativity, sensitivity and love I experienced while there as I shared more of their lives.
It was a sweet experience; good work Eric and LeeElla, good and faithful servants.
Love Dad
