I’ve been getting Guidepost since 1984….I love love love reading Marion Bond West Acuff stories. Her stories always touch my heart. I read July 18-24 2011 her “Letters From The Heart”. I was ready to give up on meeting someone and maybe one day getting married again. I’m going to hold on to hope that God will send someone just right for me. I was so excited reading every day that I want to cheat and read ahead. I didn’t, but I couldn’t wait til the next day to read the next story. I would go back and read them over again. I had to tell the Bible study class about the heart and the throne inside of it. I want Jesus to alway be on the throne in my life. Thanks so much for doing and being who God created you to be…God bless you and your family.

Congrats on 49 years my dear friend…

I received a 35th anniversary edition of Guidepost and read the 4 articles
by Marion Bond West Acuff. I had Gene Acuff as a professor at Phillips University 1958-1962 in Enid OK. I introduced him to Phyllis and had lost track of him over the years. Emanuel and I celebrated our 49th Anniversary on December 19. Emanuel and I retired from public education and have a Private Christian School, Emmanuel Baptist Child Development Center and Academy in Farmington, NM. We would love to get in touch with Gene and catch up over the years. Lois

Marion Bond West Acuff, I have loved your writing since I first read you in Guideposts. What a beautiful piece this was. I look forward to sharing it with my Mom. She lost a son in ’08, and I think it will encourage her. You must be one amazing woman. My gratitude is yours–thank you for using your gifts for good.

Robin, thank you so much for sharing your podium with Mrs. Acuff! You are such a lantern, my dear. Keep spreading the light of God’s love and hope!

This just makes my heart flutter with “joy tickles!” I’d share with you my favorite parts, but so much of it resonated with me that I’d simply be reiterating the whole thing! I too am going to print this out, but for a much more selfish reason. I just want to keep these very wonderful “words to live by” close to me for reference Thank you for sharing your faith and wisdom with us!

Robin, I hope you will invite Miss Marion back for more of her wisdom! Love to you Robin!

What a wise woman! Love the words about fear. We’re all guilty of that, aren’t we?

Both parts were awesome! Thanks for sharing this. I try daily to give my worry and fear to God, I can’t wait until I can state what she stated above! Oh and thank you for letting me know you are still praying for me, I am doing the same… you are on my personal prayer list!
