Jacob,
It was great to see you at the airport the other day! When you first posted this I wasn't sure if you were the guy I was thinking you were. I should have just asked, "Are you the guy that draws?" and I would have had my answer. My son Tyler still has the drawings you made for him while were sitting in the back of the meetings (good thing no one ever caught you
). He loves to draw too and was inspired by your work.
I was glad to hear you're doing well and also the exciting news about James Giles-that he got married and is heading to Turkey as a missionary. It's amazing what doors of opportunity opened for us all when we came out from under the oppressive hand of the assembly.
It seems odd that I think of all the people I knew in the assembly with great affection and yet the system was so consuming that I felt compelled to leave. A strange paradox we lived in.
Anyway, I pray all the best for you.
God bless!
Janet
