TO MADE YOUNG, MICK, AND W8TING:
Dear Made Young, W8ting sent me a message a little while ago advising me that you made this weeks audio recording from Ike and that mick posted it for you. I thank you both very sincerely.
As I thanked you last week Made Young for then providing Ike's 1st audio recording I definitely do not want to be remiss in not thanking you once again for providing Ike's 2nd weekly recording.
It was most kind and gracious of you to go to all of the trouble and effort of making yet another recording to all of us non-texters so that it could be posted for us to keep up with everyone else. This is most unselfish of you.
I read one time and was taught years ago by my father and mother that it is just as important and we can gleam much about our own and other's character and integrity as to how we act, perform, engage, effort put forth,etc at times on seemingly small things in life versus the larger things. On this you are golden or at the very least you are most impressive, as mick was in posting it and w8ting was in bringing to my attention that you recorded it.
If you will forgive me and give me a moment for what I am saying goes a little deeper.
You see Made Young, Mick, W8ting in thinking of the three of you and how you each brought events surrounding this audio to my attention I have been painfully made aware of a couple of my own shortcomings that I exhibited towards a couple of others this week in an unrelated field then stocks.
I was lazy, slothful and somewhat selfish with my time in not making the effort in at least trying to help an acquaintance even a slight acquaintance .
So the three of you from different perspectives and directions and unknowingly have brought my shortcomings to the forfront of my mind or rather conscience.
How does the saying go ? "Where you have a conscience you have God's presence".
This started out as a thank you note and look where my mind,heart, and spirit have taken me. Far from the path that I set out upon writing this message.
It is funny how our mind works or rather isn't it unique how God sometimes works within us if we will listen.
So instead of just thanking you guys or maybe girl(s), I can't really tell your gender although that makes little difference except for the name mick tells me something.
Whoa, after you and others read this whole message this might be the last time you guys or whoever will probably messege me. I most likely have greatly reduced the number of emails or postings I will ever have to respond to on here.
Let me shut up now and let the board get on to its business and that is all about GOIG by GOIGERS.
I have been much tempted to just delete this believe me, but something tells me no.
Forgive me for diftening far afield.
