      From eittod November 1

      Hi, I don't like to see you with a red down turned face. Have you been to the Salvation Army lately? If the answer is no. Please go. Go talk to the guys at the ARC, maybe they can help. Ask to speak to a councoler about your problem, maybe they will have some suggestions.
      We use to sing this song in church. God answers prayer in the morning,God answers prayer at noon, God answers prayer in the morning, so keep your heart in tune.
      God is your answer. Attend the Salvation Army nearest you every sunday. Soon they will get to know you. They really do care!!!!!I know because I care.
      Get your chin up!!!!! I will be praying for you. Get involved at a corp, who knows you may find someone who needs your encouragement more than you need theirs, Some one to care, someone to share, all your troubles, like no other can do,needing a friend to help you to the end,where could I go but to the Lord. ( also sometimes a good christian friend who has been through what you are going through) Hope all gets better. I am doing some better, on alot of meds but they help. Look up Jesus is coming back soon,I believe, prophecy is being filled rapidly. Keep you had in the man who stilled the waters, put you had in the hand of the man who calmed the sea, look at others who need help and you can be helpful. eittod Hope to met you in heaven someday.
