Comments by others:
  • I enjoyed reading this so much. It really made me feel better.

  • Pastor Todd, your story would make a fantastic movie! It reminds me of David--Jess's youngest shepard was chosen by God to be king! Just anoyther example of how God looks upon the lowest to be the greatest...wow, i just loved reading about your early days. It must have been beyond difficult, yet you endured! Thanks so much for sharing this today!

  • Thank you for sharing who you are in your daily messages. It helps to know that the one teaching God's word is just as human as I am. While I do not possess computer and biblical smarts like you, I feel a connection in the common struggles which you speak of. It makes it easier to talk to God knowing this. Baring your feelings and soul to all of your readers takes courage. In doing so, God has reached me through your life and your messages. I truly appreciate all you do.
