Harry and Minnie Lehman were our first supporters. Harry told us that they would support us after our first presentation at Mt. Hermon Church, a little rural church in NW Arkansas. It was ever so long after they told us of their support before we found any other financial supporters. Harry's letters were always special for Gale and me. They encouraged us more than any one else who received our prayer letters. You will see why if you read them!
I saved this letter that was forwarded to me by Richard Burson (who was one of my dearest spiritual fathers). He also was an encourager of my closest high school friend, Tex Norman. For almost all of the years since high school, Tex and I never corresponded. We drifted apart. For at least 5 years we were Facebook friends. Tex had become quite an artist, so I saw posts about his paintings. Unfortunately, when I contacted him by phone in early 2020, he had already passed away. We never saw each other after high school. That is one of my biggest regrets.
I am not sure when we started calling our letters There, and Back Again. Well, you can find out if you look through these PDF files.
For many years now my email signature has ended with this:
​ One King to rule them all, One Son to find them,
One Blood to cleanse them all, And from the dark unbind them.
