138.0. "Sandy Earley" by CRIME::PIKE (Saved by grace through faith in Jesus!) Tue May 11 1993 10:43

    I just got a email from Sandy Earley and she is accessible via CompuServe.

    [You all remember Sandy and the 300+ replies to her basenote 504.0
     "Biblically Unable to Marry" in the Christian_v6 conference...]

    [You also might recall her amazing memory for scripture verses (KJV)]

    Well, as you will recall, Sandy left Digital and is now working for
    General Mills in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

    When I talked to her she sounded a bit depressed - coping with swing
    shifts and other attacks by the evil one.

    I know she would love to hear from you all.  So, even if you don't know
    her, use your gift of encouragement and send her a little note.  She is a
    real blessing and a beautiful sister in Christ.

    You can mail her at DECWRL::"[email protected]"

    For example:  

    $ MAIL MESSAGE.TXT DECWRL::"[email protected]" /SUBJECT="Greetings"

    From Ultrix use:

    % mail -s "Greetings" "72164.1564%CompuServe.COM"@decwrl.dec.com < message.txt

    Love in Jesus,

Hey, thanks Charly - Sandy was a great encouragement in the old days (to us 
antediluvians ;-)

Over IP it is sufficient just to send it to [email protected]; this is
usually the case on Ultrix.  If you're only running DECnet on Ultrix, you may
need to use decwrl::[email protected] or 
decwrl::"[email protected]".

It will cost her some money to receive mail, depending on her plan it may be
a lot or a little.  It won't be more than a few cents per kilobyte, though.

    i don't understand.
    
    why should it cost to receive email?
    
    my compuserve plan charges me for each mail i send out, by the
    page, but not for received mail.
    
    anybody else?

CompuServe charges its users for _received_ mail from the Internet.

    Well, Sandy got her at 1:45 in the morning on Saturday and she left at
    9:00 A.M. on Sunday.  We had a wonderful time of fellowship and
    sharing.  She's really enjoying her job at Cheerios, though they do
    work her really hard.  
    
    An update on her and Tom's situation;  their Pastor is revisiting their
    request to be married.  She's asked for prayer... so please remember
    them, if you will.
    
    For those of you who don't know Sandy.  Sandy was saved early in her
    life, but fell away from the Lord and married 3 times.  I believe that
    all 3 of her ex-husbands having remarried.  After her 3rd marriage, she
    met Tom and had a baby with him [ they lived together ] and it was
    during this relationship that she rededicated her life and immediately
    separated her self from intimate relations with Tom. Tom got saved as
    a result of Sandy's testimony.  
    
    They have a daughter together and approximately a year ago petitioned
    their Pastor to be married.  After much deliberation, their Pastor said
    while they would not stop Sandy and Tom from marrying, they would not
    feel scripturally correct in marrying them.  So, Sandy and Tom put
    their lives in the hands of the Lord and accepted that decision, as
    painful and hard as that may seem.
    
    Recently, an older woman in the church asked Sandy to revisit this
    with the Pastor and they have... so, please pray for God's will to be
    done, but of course you know what Sandy and Tom would like.  BTW, Tom's
    never been married before.
    
    Now... We went to Santa Cruz and Sandy got in the ice cold ocean and
    played with my older son in the water... while I sat nice and warm and
    cozy on the beach under my beach umbrella. :-)
    
    Then we drove into the hills and watched a gorgeous sunset, taking
    bunches of pictures... that was really neat and sang songs all the way
    home... my boys of course were with us.
    
    It was great fun having her here. :-)

138.8God forgives, cleanses, healsKAHALA::JOHNSON_LLeslie Ann JohnsonMon Aug 23 1993 12:0011
Glad you a good weekend with Sandy Nancy.  Though I'm sure you don't
want this note to turn into a marriage rat hole, I'd like to say that
God forgives even mistakes as great as failed marriages, divorce, and
out of wedlock births.  I think that denying their daughter a real
family of loving father and mother united in marriage is as a great a
mistake as the past ones that God has forgiven when repentence was
sought.  I hope and pray that their pastor will be able to see this, 
and so bring healing about for everybody.  I hope and prayt that the
are able to get married soon.
