> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > This sounds like some sort of sexual code he’s transmitting. Wink wink, nod nod. Actually it isn’t. Sadly the mail people in Nashville just don’t know how to get that other guy’s mail to the right address. ☹ ☹ ☹ God bless you and James always!!! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Holly P.S. I have wondered if that other guy has ever gotten the wrong mail as well too because of the Nashville mail people. I wouldn’t be shocked if they have messed up there too. ---

People, please. If you want to post snark or if you want to make fun of James Otto, start a new Thread. This Thread is for those of us who love James Otto and our God who blesses him. And you, I suppose. Sometimes. O.K. always. ---
