    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Having lived in the Diocese of Ft. Worth in the Iker years and before, I never thought I would live long enough to experience the ministry of women priests. And now to have the blessing of your powerful words and presentation and Carlye’s words and ministry brings joy to my heart. I am so glad that you are part of our parish and hope that you will preach as often as your teaching and commitments allow.

    Thank you. After reading Acts 9:40, I wondered what was the life of Tabitha after the resurrection? Did she made a testimony about her death to resurrection experience, if she remembered something? Any encounter with God through Jesus? If she was in heaven already, should she be angry with Peter for bringing her soul back to her body? Perhaps, a special mission given to her?

    Apologies for so many question. I arrived in your website as I got interested with Tabitha’s short appearance.

    Thank you for this. I have been reading on the life of Tabitha as I am preparing to preach about this scripture this coming Sunday. This has shed such a beautiful light on it. God bless you
