Terry and Carol Jarbo commented on devon leesley's blog post Equipping the saints? For what?"Devon,
You were equipped. You didn't do it by yourself! I am reminded of a prophet who said, 'woe is me I am the only one left'.

Doing ok. Got 3 classes left to finish my Masters degree program. Still doing house church on Thursday nights. Just turned 31 years old, don't feel any different. Me and your son James had a little bit of a falling out, but we are still "facebook friends" so I guess he isn't totally peeved.
