OK I am going to try this again. Hi Carolyn – I work with adolescents/
young adults in a Behavioral Health Unit in a maximum security prison.
They ARE challenging but I also love them. It is discouraging at times
to see these lives having been caught up in the net of institutionaliza-
tion struggle to find a way out. IT is a blessing to have the privilege
of caring for them. I have actually gone back to school to learn more
about how to help these people. I am in my 2nd year of a doctoral program.
I will be praying for you and would appreciate your prayers.
Buddy – I can second Carolyn’s comments about the help you have given…
you have been a blessing in what you preach but even more so in
your obvious willingness to allow our GOD be GOD. That is no easy thang…
the Wild Goose. I continue to pray for you.

What an awesome testimony Bri WTG seeing you and Lil Momma there was like you were at home though you are the type you are home wherever you are at but was Great seeing Lib waddling around HOW BEAUTIFUL IS SHE, she radiates Beauty in Pregnancy. I know we truly enjoyed the service at Colonie today and was awesome being greeted by Dewey and Mr Jim and Miss Bonnie,Jer, and Davey,and Sammy as we walked in not knowing what to expect and seeing a bit of home was really nice. The people are nice, down to earth and totally accepting of the merge (I feel like Survivor) you can feel it. We met some down home people and had a great service. Bri you are doing an awesome job, keep up the good work. And P-Bud we hit the craft show at HVCC after and wow we had some good samples of dips and some off the hook Kettle Korn. Thank you Colonie for being a wonderful addition to Northway. Stefi

Sounds like God is working hard at Colonie. Gotta get down there one of these days…note to tech staff…change the service time on Colonie website to reflect new service times. I forgot about the 2nd one. I think Brian is doing an amazing job down there. It’s been wonderful watching him grow over the years I’ve been attending Northway. He is such a blessing! And SO in God’s hands!

Wow, Brian Thank you so much for that letter! Colonie is a unique area. I have lived here my whole life (24 yrs so far..) I have grown to love it, it is nice to know that I have a church family there. It’s great to serve there as well. So many great people!

Buddy, already I have learned something coming from the first weekend of this series. I am a social worker at St. Peters Addiction Recovery Center, Outpatient in Rotterdam. I work with adolescents. There are challenging but I love them. Each and every one of them don’t realize how awesome they are. I think this series is really going to help me work with them better. Those statistics you shared today are so true. I see those stat’s everyday. They are alarming. God is definitely calling us to stand up! Thank you so much for this series, I really think it will help me to work with these young adults.
