Best of luck in these endeavors!

Great site. Taking it one day at a time here. Maintaining serenity.

JD,

Happy to see you are doing so well! Chris G

I am happy to see that you are happy..

Hi JD,
I think of you every day and am thankful God's grace covers you. You have been so good to my son and therefore so good to me. It is not by coincidence you were placed in my son's life. I will always be grateful to you for your love, patience, and wisdom. God is good all the time. May He continue to bless you and your family.

This is an awesome website- You've got a great message to share! God IS using you in a great and mighty way! He is the Way the Truth and the Life, and you are showing people that in a "real life" way. I love it!

I really like your website! The design is great and the content is spectacular!

your site looks great Big Bro. Its great to see you helping people.

I must say I had to smile when reading the intro to your site...I think virtually no ATCK wants to be put in a box after a lifetime of never figuring out which box we could possibly fit in, perhaps until we find that, like the Ugly Duckling, there is a whole brood of us who don't have to explain why moving to Japan from Arkansas just might be a small moment of culture shock, let alone the journey back...or why you might have had pain so great there seemed no other out than to numb it when the one place you did believe you belonged...in that relationship with your high school sweetheart...was so devestating. At the same time, you ARE unique and while your story came in a certain way, may the lessons you learned move out to reach others a thousand fold...blessings...Ruth VR

Hey, Jonathan,

Just wanted to say that my prayers are with you two in your new venture. It is a scary world for the kids out there, and I know your message will encourage many of them to steer clear of some of the pitfalls.
Karen & her 2 yr old Carl are visiting us now. He is really cute. Keith is coming next week.
Take care. Love, june

Pretty sweet site here. I knew you were not a motivational speaker. But your story about the garbage bag is awesome.

Wonderful new site! Good luck JD!

Hey JD...I'm liking what you have to say! Good luck on your adventure. It sounds like you truly have a gift and a passion. I love your writing style!

All my Best!
Christie

JD I am glad to see the man that you are today.

You've always had a heart for others. I'm not surprised that you're seeking to turn the pain of your experiences to others' benefit! Love and hugs, Nica

I'm impressed by your site. Keep up the good work.

More power to you Jon as you speak to people who need your message.

Love,

Uncle Chuck and Aunt Chere

Pretty cool, J.D. I am proud of you! I hope to someday find my calling.

I am really impressed. JD, you are an awesome individual and I know God is going to use you and ways you have not yet even imagined. I knew the first time I met you that you were "different" . . . I just didn't know at the time how your "differentness" would inspire and help so many others.
I love you, brother.

I'm so glad our paths crossed. What you are doing with your life is so extraordinary! I always love reading your blogs and updates. Your humor tied in with your matter of fact attitude is so refreshing. Keep it up; I love it!!!

Looks great Brother

This is awesome JD! I will definately be sharing this with some the people I work with.

Awesome job J.D. You are an amazing man and I for one have been trying to tell you that for years. Not for what you can do, though this is great, but for who you are. You Rock!!! Love you.

JD...

Congrats on this new website! It is good to see that there are people out there (other MK's) that went or are going through the same challenges! Thanks for being so down to earth & open about what you have been through.

By God's grace...

Good luck in this venture Bro. Hope the fam is well!

Sorry I have not been a better friend and stayed in closer touch. I am still around and enjoy your site and hearing from you, Ed

Congratulations on getting the site up. I am proud to call you friend, co-worker, and brother. Best of luck in this endeavor.
Love Ya',

Don

This is great site JD. I hope this works out for you as well as all those that you touch. Proud of you!

I am so proud of you, little big brother! I praise God that He is using you in this way. It is a joy for me to see this growth in you and your dependence on him. Thank you, and may God bless you and your family.

JD,

I am so glad to see you are following your true path!

Hey JD-what a story, thanks for sharing it. I do pray God will continue to work in and through you.

Can't wait to see more.
