Brother Petree, I want to honor you and thank you again, for your investment in my life as a child. For it is with deep gratitude and joy that I can reflect on many hours spent together while in churches or your home, growing up under your ministry and pastoral covering in Muncie, IND. Your example and willingness to include me in your "inner family circle" and travels provided the opportunity and context for me to attest your consistancy up close and view you as a "spiritual father, benefiting from all of the informal conversations and "ministry coaching." Please know that I retain the highest respect for you and your wife, whom I have always regarded as sort of a "second mother." Yet, the primary reason I honor you, is because of your unwavering focus and intimacy you have strived to cultivate with the Holy Spirit. Now of course, it's OUR turn to be spiritual fathers. Yet I thank you for being a ready instrument to take your bow and shoot this arrow in the direction of assignment and purpose. Thanks "Dad" for everything.
