Brother Hamilton,<\/p>\n
I hope this note finds you well. I am a minister and also serve as an elder in the church.<\/p>\n
I really appreciate your web page very much as it is very encouraging to me. Thank you for your efforts.<\/p>\n
I have a question. Are you OK with my borrowing from your sermon outlines, notes, and even the question and answer segments for my own sermon preparation?<\/p>\n
Either way you feel about it is OK with me. Keep up the good work and God bless.<\/p>\n\t
