I’ll get slammed for this but it’s been on my heart to say for months. I love you SBC women so much. You were such a privilege to serve. You made me study Scripture 10 times harder than I would have. You gave me room to make so many mistakes and grow. You were my first and longest compadres in Bible study. I would not have chosen to leave you. I believe a fight is worth having if you are fighting for someone you love. You are who I fought for even if you disagreed and even if my mouth got away from me. Most of my ministry was too far behind me to have fought for my own selfish sake. When you get to be my age, you start thinking what you want to make sure you’ve said to those you cherish before it’s too late. I’ve been thinking for weeks now how I wished I could say this to you but haven’t known where to post it. I decided this was as good a place as any: Thank you thank you thank you thank you. What grace of God to serve you. Thank you so much for allowing me into your church libraries, into your dens, into your sanctuaries, into your lives. It was never lost on me. I was aware every second what a gift from God you were. Through all eternity, I will thank God for the honor to serve you, study Scripture and seek the Lord Jesus with you. I’m positive I love him more because of your impact on me. I had problems with the SBC. But you weren’t one of them. You will only ever be dear to me. I will carry you on my heart to the grave. I love you so.
