    Shiela you and your Family are in our Prayers
    May God Continue to Give You Strength.
    God will be your Comforter. Jesus says it best, "es;Come all ye who labor and are heavy burden, for I will give you rest!"es; Eric's"es; residence is now in our Father's House.

  7. Greetings, and Our Father's comfort to the family of my brother in Christ, Eric Shelton.

    You and I have been blessed with our saviour's best; a living example of what it means to be born again according to the scriptures. A man once told me, "es;a person who cannot read or write can follow an example."es;

    We are without excuse. Eric obeyed Paul's instruction to Timothy to, "es;be an example of the believer."es; In the Freed Up Group he freely shared the gift of liberating truth promised by Jesus to believers who become His 'disciple indeed' by continuing in His word. John 8:31,32………. Eric continued.

    Jesus made it possible and Eric Shelton showed us what it looks like, in 21st century Columbus, Oh – to be a grateful disciple of Jesus Christ. All I can do is stay in Christ and prove what I know is possible. All I can say is
    thanks and Hallelujah!!!

    Be filled with the Holy Spirit, know His peace and let your light shine. Our Father loves us.

    In Him,

    Bob Cross. Feb. 10, 2011
