Dr. Boyd -- please know that you have made a difference in my life.
You have helped me wrestle with my inner doubts -- the questions that seem unanswerable, the passages in the Bible that seem inconsistent or nonsensical. You have given me courage to be an authentic Christian. And in so doing you have touched my heart. Seeing and feeling your passion for Christ and your love for people has truly inspired me.

You have a beautiful wife, inside and out, and I thank her for supporting your ministry and sharing you with all of us. And I want you to know that I will always pray for you both.

.... Every so often I whisper a prayer of thanks for Greg and Pinnock and others that have participated on the boards here.

..... I would like to express a heartfelt thanks to you Dr Boyd.
I realize that you probably have no idea of the extent that God influences lives through your ministry.

I could tell right away (and, I mean right away) that you have a pastor's (a shepherd's) heart, and that your dear wife has the same spirit.

Just in Case you ever wonder (as Max Lucado would say) - your life and ministry is greatly appreciated. I have a friend where I live, whose life has been dramatically changed with the open view, and your work (your books) have been the major part of that. This board is a continuing source of encouragement for me, and so many others, as well.

I know that God has richly blessed you already, but I pray (and I will pray for you both by the way), that God will continually refresh and renew you both, give you both new visions in your ministry for Him, and that you will be encouraged, and strengthened - that you will experience great joy in resting in Him. He delights in you. In fact, (a bit poetical here) - if you listen - I think you'll here Him singing over you!

God Bless. It was a joy to meet you both!
Jo-Anne (the journey continues...)

..... Ditto to the comments about Shelley Boyd. I told my wife
when I got home that Shelley reminded me so much of our senior pastor's wife Coleen, who is basically about the sweetest and kindest person you'd ever meet. (My wife would have come, but with a 19-month-old toddler, she felt it would be too difficult, which of course, I agreed with).

I think it is a consensus; Greg’s better half is a real sweetheart.
I was privileged to sit next to her for lunch and agree with everyone else, she is a real darling.

Blessings to all,

Wow, do I and Shelley feel LOVED ON. Such kind words.
Gives me a lump in me throat! Honestly. I really had a fun time, largely because of the CVMers who were there, a fine night with John and of course, Shelley being with me (she just decided to go at the last minute). But the whole EEM crowd was kind, stimulating and attentive....
Shelley and I again that you for your kind and affirming words and for the fun we had down in Amish land.

Greg
