(Not that there is a great difference between the two)<BR/><BR/>How many have started - or continued - their own second verses because of Christmas Jars alone? We'll never know for sure, but my guess is "bunches."<BR/><BR/>As for me, without your wisdom and friendship, my second verse would have been very different. <BR/><BR/>But the lesson that those of us who have been "Miracle'd." "Jar'd," and 'Letter'd," by you is not to focus on our own second verses, but how to support the second verse's of others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777228671585266718.post-15744377233460512402008-08-22T14:27:00.000-04:002008-08-22T14:27:00.000-04:00Cheryl, so true :)Jennifer, my very best to your m...Cheryl, so true :)<BR/><BR/>Jennifer, my very best to your mom.

But now I shall call it my next verse. I started over with 4 children after a divorce in a new community. Now I am starting a new verse by adopting a special needs child and hopefully heading off to BYUI next year at age 57. I have always wanted to attend university and I think there will be many exciting new verses to come. I appreciate your work. It is good to read something that entertains, uplifts and creates opportunities to see life in new perspectives.

She's on dialysis 3 times a week, has a bad heart, etc. She tried to die on us in January, they brought her back and now it's just a "one day at a time" thing. She started getting very confused on June 1st. She's very entertaining, but at the same time it's sad to watch her slowly go. You have given me something to look forward to....my 2nd verse and all it might hold in store for me. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the chorus that never ends!!! Thanks for something to new to think about!Sandy Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653366371460150893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777228671585266718.post-53270085678780372302008-08-13T20:51:00.000-04:002008-08-13T20:51:00.000-04:00LOVE LOVE LOVE this post!

You are an awesome, talented, and inspirational guy. You are doing what you truly love, and you have a great strong family who follows their beliefs. I know that I am a better person for knowing you, and I am truly grateful for the friendship that we share.
