Recently I joined the staff of a large church to minister to healthcare professionals. I viewed a presentation you gave at a NC hospital, and am fully convinced we need to bring you up and have you speak to our area health systems and their employees. As a pharmacist and nurse, I was greatly moved by your story. God bless you brother. I'll be in touch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201783.post-391476677429079232007-03-30T09:14:00.000-05:002007-03-30T09:14:00.000-05:00I see your heart, Ridley. Thanks for sharing your ...I see your heart, Ridley. Thanks for sharing your pains and trials. It encourages me as I go through trials here on this earth, too.<BR/>I like the way you cry out in honesty and are real with us about all you are going through. It is this heart of honesty that God, I believe likes to hear. He knows it all anyway. <BR/>I think that in these times we find the presence of the Lord in a real way,saying back to us as we cry out, I am here in the middle of all of our circumstances.<BR/>I just read a devotion about one crying out to the Lord in the middle of a tough struggle in her life.<BR/>It said that faith is never the denial of reality. <BR/>It is belief in a greater reality. Which you so beautifully share in your thoughts.<BR/>And the truth is that we are presently going through so many discouraging and difficult circumstances and we often long for heaven. The devotion goes on...<BR/>The reason we don't have to buckle is that God is in the middle of our circumstances.<BR/>As we call upon him and cry out to him he says to us... "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy."<BR/>That place is holy because GOd stands on it with us.<BR/>We don't have to fill his shoes. We take off our sandals and walk barefoot in his wake.<BR/><BR/>How I praise God that he is in the middle of these battles and struggles. This gave me a new perspective thinking that our battlegrounds are Holy because he is there with us.<BR/>I pray that these things will produce in me that the lord desires for my life.<BR/>Standing on holy ground...wow...I just love that perspective!<BR/>keep pressing on...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32201783.post-31120668474584297452007-03-29T22:02:00.000-05:002007-03-29T22:02:00.000-05:00You just amaze me... thank you. I thank the Lord ...You just amaze me... thank you. I thank the Lord that He brought you to Southwestern Seminary so I would continue to be encouraged through the valleys. How many times I've felt like giving in... then I watch your video or I check your blog and you give me words that encourage me to "press on." Thank you Ridley.

I lost my mom about 2 months ago and a part of me has completely died with her. I miss her so much, every day, every moment, with each passing breathe. I wasn't with her when she left this earth, but I know, that the moment she slipped the bonds of this earth, she was in heaven with our Lord and Creator. I work at a hospital in NC and I saw your video today, about the death of your wife and child. Mr. Barron, I am so sorry for you loss and know that I am think of you and praying for you today, tomorrow and everytime from here forward that I think of your story. With my deepest respect,<BR/><BR/>Todd K. Booth<BR/>China Grove NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
