Hey!!!
As I have spoken to both you and Mrs. Flipper on the phone, there are a few things that I would like to say:
1... Wow, Mr. Flipper, your wife is awesome!!! Being a JW for so long, it never dawned on me to have so much trust and love for a mate. I know it may sound dumb, but, when I called, she first was going to hand over the phone to you like it was nothing!!! I WAS SHOCKED!!! Wow, was I shocked... She didn't ask for my credentials, wasn't mad, nothing... She even suggested I spoke with him...wow... the point to her was that he understood, because of his backround with JWs... What a humble personality!!! I have been thinking about that a lot lately... Had that much trust in her husband to not just let, but suggest that some girl, who she had never met just talk to her husband like it was nothing. That really had not left my mind... That little thing has had such an impact. i can't even tell you how much... I was never taught to trust like that... Wow, that taught me something completely new in like 3 seconds... The idea of not worrying, just trusting, I have NO IDEA about. I want it though, soooooooooooo bad... That is so awesome, and I love her, just for that... I really, really would love to be like that...
2. Ok, Mr. Flipper, you are a really smart, informative guy with a lot of experience... I really like hearing your stories... They are really awesome to listen to and very logical and down to earth... I thought I knew a lot about all the things to watch out for when it comes to "set-up JC's..." but you told me things I didn't even know... Your like a great dad, that tells all these awesome bedtime stories that you can't live without... Its really awesome to here all your stories...
I really wish your daughter one day clings to you and hangs on to every last word you say... Everything you say has that impact on people who listen and i really wish it was appreciated the way it should be... but, one day, hopefully it will!
