I also have relatives out there. Allie Courtney Griffin and her husband Joe
Griffin. So how are we going to find out where our love ones are? GOD
BLESS YOU ALL, LUCINDA
I also watch the special on t.v. it was very interesting. When I go to
Caldwell, Texas I go look at the old grave yards with my ancestors. I've even
took pictures of the grave stones to. Since I'm working on family history and
our family tree. I'll close for now. May GOD be with us always. GOD BLESS
YOU ALL, LUCINDA
A lady after recently being saved was asked by a co-worker what it was like
to be a Christian. She replied, It's like a pumpkin:
GOD picks you from the patch, brings you in, and
washes all the dirt off you may have gotten from the other pumpkins. Then
he cuts the top off and scoops out all the yuckey stuff. He removes the seeds
of doubt, hate, greed, etc., then He carves you a new smiling face and puts
His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.
A guote from the recent NYTimes story:
Family members fear that relatives, buried years ago,
are now hidden in unknown fields, their bodies and
stories lost.
"The first place they came was their cemeteries," said
Zeb Johnson, an investigator for the Calcasieu Parish
coroner in far southwestern Louisiana and the owner of
Johnson Funeral Home in Lake Charles, who receives
constant phone calls. "This may go on for years."

This was received from another list I belong to. Sweet story! It reminded
me of how we recovered three Evergreen tombstones taken by no-good little
(teen-age) vandals (caught about midnight with the markers in the back of a
pick-up truck).

A LOVE LETTER FROM JESUS
How are you? I just had to send you this letter to tell you how much I love
you and care about you. I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your

evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day, and a cool breeze to
rest you. Then I waited, But you never c
