Hello,
I kinda shocked to hear all this..it seems all my old friends have fallen in some ways, I know I have.
You know me Angel, remember the trip to cali on the bus? "we luv L.A." eh?
Yup, Mark J. That's me.
You two really affected my life and I'm blessed to have known ya.
I'd had many private talks with Eastman and Angel when we were back at Open Bible in the 80's and they were youth pastors there, and they are good people. I'm sad to see this state of affairs though. I remember how insanely much Eastman loved you Angel, it's hard to believe what has happened in these long years since.
Perhaps he could've learned from John Jacob's mistakes...
You know, I'd love to talk to Eastman again..perhaps he needs to remember some things he taught me back at summer camp....where he led me to Christ personally.
I could look him in the eye and tell him with conviction the things he told me those many years ago. I know that Eastman, the one with the funny car and the always on smile...even after being TP'd...
There's a convo Eastman and I had in the restroom at some church in Oregon long ago that I've always remembered...we were crispy sunburnt critters eh..but alive for God. We even made a song about it...remember the "leprosy" song? ;-)
He was always straight up with me, and God is in him, no doubt...he had a passion for Ministry.
We've fought the very demons of hell in person together haven't we Angel?
Remember when we were in the church and woke up to screaming and a kid was possessed....impelled towards that window? I always will. We rebuked Satan, and won back a life that morning.
Do ya'll forget what his dad did? To whom much is given...
I'll always love ya Eastman and Angel, I wish ya well.
try 1 Corinthians 15:10
Peace, I still owe ya a face full of shaving cream ya know.... ;-p
