		<description>Andy,
Favorite Andy-ism from this treasure is: 

&quot;I love pastors because at the end of the day, they’re no different from anybody else. I love pastors because at the end of the day, they’re completely different from everybody else. I love pastors for being able to live with the perennial contradictions that make up their lives. I love pastors for the way they pursue integrity, or the way integrity pursues them.&quot; 

Thanks for making me feel a lot less like a totally isolated, paradoxical, disconnected, confused God chaser;-) 

Ahhh, I&#039;m breathing better already...

		<description>In the words of Richard Petty, &quot;This is really a &quot;goodun!&quot;  I hope that MANY pastors can see this and I&#039;m sure agree with it.</description>

		<description>I love pastors for their ability to make sure saved souls have a &quot;ticket for the train&quot;. It&#039;s only going to make one stop so you want to make sure you&#039;re on it.
It&#039;s one train that, I&#039;m sorry to say, some will miss. Those lost souls really need our Prayers as well.

I&#039;ve really been Blessed by the way you handle the role God has Blessed you with. You&#039;ll have no idea how many &quot;tickets&quot; you&#039;ve been responsible for giving out until you reach the Throne and be told &quot;job well done my good and faithful servant.&quot;

Love Ya,
Bruce</description>
