Brandon,
I just wanted to thank you for sending your “drummer” story to Mountain Wings. I was touched. It seems for so long that I have been saying “Christ died for me, the least I can do is live for Him.” Sometimes I thought that other people didn’t understand me. I guess you do! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope that the Lord will use you. He is fatihful.

I was really touched by your mountain wings article!! You sound like such a beautiful special Christian man!! Somehow I could relate to your article because I feel the same way! I have been through many, many trials & my views on men have been affected by them. However it was very encouraging to hear a decent Christian man’s perspective of his life & how you treasure the women in your life, that is really beautiful to hear! So many women suffer at the hands of men! It was really encouraging to hear that there are beautiful men out there like you! May God guide you in all you do & bring you together to your soul mate in God’s good time!! God bless you!

Hey Brandon!
I got your website from today’s MountainWings. I really appreciate what you had to say. THANK YOU!
You and your sister are blessed to have each other. Take care and Keep the Faith!
Have a great day!

Brandon,
I am 56 years old and still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I was downsized from Corporate America a year ago Decemeber. Since that time I have an abudance of time to grow in the Lord and find His leading. I have always disliked Corporate America but you know!! I am now following my dream of being in business for myself. It is frustrating at times but the Lord has the reins. My boss is a Jewish Carpenter.
For those of you not yet married, I suggest as I have to my kids, that you get your education first, then take time to experience the world, and then after all that, consider marriage. My kids did and they now have strong marriages.
Thank you for allowing Mountain Wings to post your “drummer” comment.

LORD BUT DID I RELATE!!…I do realize we each are different in our own unique ways and appearances, but I really do receive the ‘three-headed monster’ looks…then again I also get snubbed, which is not of any more comfort than the unsmiling stare. And that is just appearance….then I proceed to speak. Ergo, I also love the ‘different drummer’ quote, and only
in my advancing years does all the struggling with my individuality seem less disconcerting to me.
I must shine a little, though; in my later 30+ years I did ‘land’ from a stessful relationship onto the lap of who some call ‘soulmate’; I met
someone exactly like me inside, totally different on the outside. And to show me JUST how accurate the union is, the Lord even had my first name and newly married name be 2 songs upon a Simon/Garfunkel album: Mrs Cecilia Robinson.
I am pisces, he is scorpio, there is no other more perfect union of characters, and marriage has been a most blissful 8 years now. I really
think the Good Lord needs help, and that I not only have 1 guardian angel (my grandmama, I was ‘grandmas brat’)but a cadre helping over not only mylife but the lives of this family. And I ramble on….
Thanks for your ‘ear’, the right person is waiting for you, as patiently as you are.
A Dios!…and that is NOT good bye, either!…

I just wanted to thank you for your words of encouragment. I’m in the computer lab at college and I was looking at my e-mails and read “Walk to the beat of a different drummer” in Mountain Wings. Someimes its hard to realize theirs other christians (your age) out there. I’ve always been so different so to speak when its came to the things of this world. God is the most important thing in my life. Had it not been for him,I know for sure I wouldn’t be here. Even though my grandfather has been my pastor all my life, I never got serious and got a hold of God myself until I hit high school and we moved from Florida to Georgia. That was very difficult for me. The hardest time of my life. I’ve always moved alot and never made much friends. Mainly so I wouldn’t get attached and then pick up and have to leave again. But Flordia at least was where my family was. So at a breaking point so to speak, I realized that the one thing I needed more than anything in this world (once it was always having to be the best in school and everything I did)I needed a relationship with my Savior. I needed God more than I needed to be in the in-crowd so to speak (which I never would of made it there though, I was the one people liked because I was very shy and smart and when they needed something done I was there) Once I decided to let God take control of my life and have his way, things seem to just fall in place. Everything hasn’t been perfect since that April day five years ago. But no matter what I’m faced with I know God will and can make a way. I’m thankful that it’s in Gods timing that things fall into place. Boy would I really mess things up in my life if it were left up to me. I guess what I’ve been getting at is that I was blessed and encouraged by “Walk to the beat of a different drummer”. I’m glad that Im not the only one out there feeling like Im different. I’m so glad that Im no longer the “different” person I was five years ago, I “different” for JESUS! God Bless you and I hope and pray that God will continue to use you and your words of encouragment. Don’t ever give up! (*_*)

I just read your “musings” featured in today’s edition Mountainwings.com – I was moved by your faith and your honesty. I wish you good luck in finding your way and especially in finding the one to love, truly – and all I can say is – she is a lucky girl for sure!

Dear Brandon,
I love the mountainwings that you wrote. The title really caught my eye. I am probably a lot older than you are, but I can relate because I’ve always walked to the beat of a different drummer myself. I did things a little differently than my peers when I was young. On Saturdays when everyone else was out playing, or going to the movies or whatever, I was in the library. I really didn’t care what people said about me. I am blessed with a daughter who also walks to a different beat. I really understand and admire her. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your message. As a matter of fact, I’m going to forward it to my daughter.
God Bless,
Antoinette

Hello there, I just read your quote on Mountain Wings. I figured you’d received quite a response, I hope you’re able to read all. Just wanted to let you know, I very much appreciated your message. I can relate! Life is much more complicated and surprising. 🙂 It’s funny cause even if we ‘plan’ or ‘schedule’, it doesn’t always fall into God’s plan for us. So, i’ve very much learned to live one day at a time -to plan like I might live 100 years, and to try to live life to a fullest not sure about tomorrow. I’ve bookmarked your page, I was only able to glance over it, I’ll check back when I have more time. -saw your attempts w/a standard -I can relate to that also (just recently). Thanks for letting Mountain Wings share. May you allow God to keep using you to shine for Him daily.

Thanks for being who you are, sharing yourself with others, and walking with THE drummer. All I can say is that you made my heart smile.
God bless 🙂

ps-Not only was it appreciated b/c I felt i could relate, but your message was sent out on my birthday… ;D. Thanks again for sharin’

Brandon,
I saw your article in Mountain Wings and wanted to write you and encourage you.
I hate to admit it but I’m a 44 year old Auburn grad living in Charlotte, NC.
I started really seeking the Lord while in college.
I just want to encourage you to remember the race we are in is a marathon.
I actually ran a marathon once as well as (4) triathlons.
I did not get married until I was 34.
I was 39 before we had our second and probably last child.
It was well worth the wait.
I floundered in my carrer in the trucking industry for years, getting laid off several times before things started to click.
But the past ten years have been great, and I’ve been in my current position over five years and make real good money so my wife can stay home and homeschool the kids.
Just keep following Jesus.
God is always right on time.
Bo Ward
PS. I’m glad you know the words to the Alabama fight song.
Many Alabama grads and students don’t even know the words.
For years I thought y’all were crazy singing about winning the Rosebowl game again, but with the BCS, it could happen.
