“And when you lay down your precious head to receive your Father’s stroke, remember what you said to me: Though your head was severed from your body, yet in a moment your soul should be united to your Head, the Lord Jesus, in heaven. And though it may seem something bitter, that by the hands of men we are parted a little sooner than otherwise we might have been, yet let us consider that it is the decree and will of our Father, and it will not be long ere we shall enjoy one another in heaven again.”
- Mary Love in a letter (1651) to her husband Christopher Love the night before he was to be beheaded. Only three days before she had written to him, “One comfort I would have of you to carry to your grave, if ever God did good to my soul, you were the chief instrument of it, for I never looked after God till I saw your face.”

Hey Rob,
ReplyDeleteI sending this via the blog because the allfreechurchman@gmail.com got kicked back to me. Hope you received my email yesterday after our call, regarding the public preaching documentary.
I have a quick question regarding that...I think I mentioned that I am possibly going to Ireland to get some video interviews/footage for the film.
I remember you mentioned that you know of a professional video person in your church? If so, I was wondering if that person would be interested in coming to Ireland to shoot these interviews for me and film open air preaching.
I know this is very last minute, and I am trusting that the Lord will come through with someone, but my connection over there is not able to come through. The trip would be around November 9th through the 15th roughly. Here is a link to the conference:

Just taking a shot in the dark. Let me know what you think. :-)
Thanks brother,
Pat
