We see it as sad because we're still corruptible on this earth. Besides, David and I have so much in commom such as, godly life, missionary spirit and love burning inside, a love by the way in which we both have never ever enjoyed on account of many sentimental circumstances. I was born 241 years later after his death. He died on 9th October 1747 and I was born on 8th October 1988. I'm so proud of that! I hope to see you soon in heaven David and Jerusha, amen!<br /><br />Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658546056761985165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287025585809236414.post-74357104198071407172016-09-01T20:51:10.091-04:002016-09-01T20:51:10.091-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658546056761985165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287025585809236414.post-5039665332071080002016-06-13T04:12:07.187-04:002016-06-13T04:12:07.187-04:00anyone know of any portraits of Jerusha Edwards an...anyone know of any portraits of Jerusha Edwards anywhere?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287025585809236414.post-17258041333355330422016-04-05T19:44:39.933-04:002016-04-05T19:44:39.933-04:00Great Read!Great Read!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287025585809236414.post-89528263121618323212016-02-13T12:11:50.426-05:002016-02-13T12:11:50.426-05:00Thank you!Thank you!Wilamis Rogériohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083481575429553880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7287025585809236414.post-69860861661631409062015-01-30T08:37:42.487-05:002015-01-30T08:37:42.487-05:00I'll have to check out that book.
