I am tired of people not liking that I stand against sin. I can be your friend without approving of what you do. Jesus loved Zacchaeus and even died for us while we were yet sinners. He even died for us before we were born even though he knew we would fail him he died so we would have a chance to make things right.
I pray for all of my friends whom have left the Lord and yet I am still their friends. In fact if I did not pray for you and did not talk to you about the Lord then is when you should be angry with me. I give the example if I see a house burning and it is not yet consumed. If I know there are people inside the building and I do nothing to try and warn them then I am not only not their friend but not much of a Christian. If I offend them while waking them out of their beds, I should not worry. Sometimes a drowning person well panic and beat on the very person trying to save them. They are still happy once they are saved. The rescuer is taking a risk that they may lose their life trying to save the drowning person. So if I make a comment you do not like or if I offend you please understand I am not trying to in any way. However, my panic to reach you before you or I die is real and the fact I do care about you is the real reason I am reaching out to you.
Praying for all of my friends, I want to see you all in heaven some day,

Bro. Nathan,
I appreciate your family so much. Your friendship means a lot and I agree with you. I was just thinking about this same thing in the past few days.
God Bless you and your family. Hope you had a nice vacation. We ended up going to Gatlinburg instead of Gulf Shores but we had a great time anyway!!!
God Bless,
Sis. Ruth Tetmeyer
