Many thanks, Joe, for sharing this presentation with all of us.

We continue to be blessed by your sharing of your ministry.

This sounds very familiar…have I read a book of yours that treats this subject?
This was the focus of the online retreat I hosted last summer on my blog. Good memory, Christian!
Dear Joe,
I finally got to meet you in person! Your presentation was awesome and very helpful for me. Thank you for your words of wisdom. Your talk has inspired me. I was so happy to be there at the Congress. God bless you!
Sr. Betty, thanks for your kind words…I had such a wonderful time at the Congress! I’m glad that I was able to partner with you in your ministry, at least for an hour or so! Have a blessed Holy Week and a wonderful Easter!
