Dear Rich,
I just now discovered that your father had passed away! So sorry my response and profound condolences is so late in coming! I wanted to write him again today, as we had a long ongoing email exchange as a fellow discernment brother in Christ. My good friend Joe Infranco, introduced me to him, as an “elder of elders”. He was 100% right! He had fathomless insight and was a perpetual encourager to me personally and my ministry. Several years ago I once called him because I was in such despair because of the assault I was under by so-called Christians and even pastors. I thought he would respond by being a good shoulder to cry on as he had such a big heart! But to my surprise he said: “Don’t worry, it is only going to get worse!” I will never forget his wise words and counsel, which I will never forget…and was he ever prophetic, in light of the two Supreme Court rulings last week! I will sorely miss his counsel and rich fellowship in Christ! If you send me your email address, I will give you my music ministry website and songs of encouragement to you and your family and friends!
Kindest regards in Christ,
James Sundquist
