I figured this post was going somewhere. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GREGG!
Our birthdays are only days apart, but I'm old enough to be your older brother--which in a sense I guess I am.
I'll have some cake and ice cream tonight in your honor. (like I needed an excuse!)

How happy for you.
Have a happy blessed day.
Don't know if youhave heard of Ian McCormack? He was an athiest who died and visited Hell and Heaven. He came back to share his experience a changed man. I have his testimony in video on my Blog.
Blessings..
Thank you, I truly appreciate it. It was a good day! My two older daughters took me to dinner and had a couple of nice gifts. It was fun. I have not heard of Ian McCormack, but if that is his "claim" then I don't need to know him other than possible to share the true gospel with him. The Scripture assures us that he did not got to either heaven or hell and that his account, which maybe real to him, is not supported by Scripture. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord for a believer and one does not return, and the opposite would be true for an unconverted lost soul, immediate presence in hell with no return. He has been tragically deceived.
In Christ,
Gregg
Glad you had a good birthday Gregg. Marty is a great film. It took me a long time to finally see it but I was really glad that I did. Borgnine was great!
