I never met my father, so I share something other than name Ellis and Lauren Elizabeth Ellis and Gregory Ellis with you. I miss you and Leslie.
We just “re-subscribed”, thinking maybe we had been inadvertently dropped from your Gracewaves email list. Haven’t received one recently — but maybe you’ve been on vacation or just busy with family, especially the new “Grace” in your life — that precious new grandchild.
Whatever reason, we want to keep the Gracewaves coming, as we look forward to them every week.
Hope you and your family are well and happy. We still miss you.
Dr. Ellis,
Lillie and I miss you and your family. I am so glad to find GraceWaves again. Bless you!
Hey Terry, I wanted to let you read what Zack wrote me. He keeps me on track.
I remember growing up through some troubled times, actually I don’t… What I mean by that is when we were broke.. we never knew. When we had nothing.. we had EVERYTHING. When there really wasn’t nothing to do.. creativity was our playground. When I got older my mom started to tell me that we had trouble in the past.. I don’t remember any of that.. All I remember is that I had a mom that was Always there for me.. I believe I have a GIANT View of Gods love and sacrifice, because my mom sacrificed and loved us so much! There were days when she didn’t always feel creative or helpful.. but that quickly diminished because her kids saw the strength, courage, and self sacrificing women that is our mom. Some of you will look at this quilt and be shocked that this was the first time my mom has ever quilted, and that she NEVER took classes.. honestly I am NOT shocked.. I know when my mom puts her mind to it, all of her good qualities come out in her artwork. Her pieces of art do have fictional qualities in them, but most of the art she makes is a manifestation of the great personality, qualities, and love that glues together the women that is my mom! God bless you mom, know everything good is from God… and you will never have a spot to complain when you think back in your life! Love you!
What would we do without our kids.
Love to you and Leslie!
This is remarkable, Kim. Thank you for sharing it, and yes our kids are a blessing. One of God’s graces …
Dr. Ellis, Lynn Dossett works with me and gave me copies of several of the messages. I have really enjoyed them. I am now subscribed to Grace Waves and anxiously await the next lesson.
Thank you Tofey. Lynn is a good friend, and I pray you always find GraceWaves encouraging.
Terry,
We miss you and Leslie. I hope all is well with you and your family. I look forward to receiving your messages thru Gracewaves.

Marilynn,
We miss you and Ron too, but so glad to be able to stay in touch through GraceWaves. I hope Advent was everything you needed it to be. Grace always to you and your family.
Terry Ellis
Terry, So glad to locate you! Bob and I loved you and your sermons at Springhill! I have searched online for you for a couple of years… glad to find you! Hope all is well with u and your family.
Jane,
What a blessing to hear from you, and what great memories of you and Bob. All sermons are available at http://www.broadmoorbaptist.com. Do stay in touch and let me know how you are doing.
Terry
Please add me to your list again. I don’t know what I am doing wrong.! I look forward to your message every week. You truly have a precious gift from God!

Dana,
I’m not sure why people occasionally do not receive the weekly GraceWaves. It does go out from the site (I can actually monitor that). But why it sometimes ends up in a spam filter or why it heads off to Pluto, I have no idea (and people far smarter than me can’t figure it out either). I’ve checked your address and all is fine here. I suppose e-mail is something like the USPS. Something gets lost for no apparent reason.
Hope you’re doing well. Contact me if you need anything.
Terry
I love your practical and insightful view of the Grace(Wave) of God!
Keith,
I find that people are deeply in need of grace in this anxious and critical time. May God bless you as grow stronger in the grace of Christ Jesus.
Glad you are doing this, Terry. I’m sure this will be most helpful to many - especially Jimmy Gentry. Hope you are well. My love to you and Leslie.
Good to hear from you Jimmy, and very glad that GraceWaves is one of God’s graces to you.
Terry, Ed and I continue to pray for you and your family. We enjoy getting to see Leslie still at First Baptist.
Love and prayers, Ed & Peggy
