I was late tonight and remain in busy negotiation with that world famous author that be both know and love. While I have other things signed by ErikaLeigh, I NEED to have the book in hand. It is a joy to hear her news.

In the video “The person who loves you is not your dad it is me!” (http://kozlowski.org/2017-12-02+1) was a discussion of reaching 300 voicemails and I stated that if it gets to be 1000 I will press on. We reached the halfway point today. I have pressed on. As the Lord allows, I will press on. A follower of the Lord Jesus Christ has no other option. Those around you seem not to find that in their Scripture or simply don’t care to follow the Lord’s commands. It is the “resounding gong” that I think you know about. It used to hang on our wall. My guess it has been discarded, as I have been.

My pursuit remains reconciliation. It would be good if it started with your dad, but that requires his participation. I desire to speak with our kids. I am committed to pointing them to the Lord Jesus Chris and His commands, including reconciliation. Then there is my wife, as the Lord defines, who I remain 100% in love with, committed to, and desirous of reconciling with. You offer no hint that that is shared. But I trust in the Lord and my hope is in Him.

This email was basically done except for the closing “I love you” which you might note is a habit. However, the sending was delayed for two and a half hours due to a phone call with ErikaLeigh. That call alone was longer than many calls I have had with our kids years ago. Perhaps others would also find merit in a conversation with their dad. I desire that. Do you remember when we would spend hours on the phone together? There was a time when all we wanted was more time together. For me, it hasn’t changed. Dorothy-Jane, I really love you and miss you.
