The following is an excerpt of a personal note sent by David in Colorado:
Well my dear brother, I must say that for me it is a great pleasure to have the experience of coming a little closer to knowing you. I am by nature a curious person ... and in that curiosity have often, since we first met online, wondered who this fellow is. I am please to say that I enjoyed the video [on the Home page] and seeing you in it. I found the presentation unpretentious, full of humanness and warmth ... Refreshing to say the least.
I too, have found over the years that facing the truth about my very human defects of character (as they are called in the fellowship of recovery) and the principles of sharing that that fellowship embraces, of sharing our own experience, strength and hope, by sharing what we were like, what happened, and what we are like now, to be the way that attracts people who are desirous of spiritual growth and help, in that to trust. As I'm sure you know, trust is a vital component of developing and sustaining relationships.
As I suspected, your experience in ministry, both positive and negative, has developed you into a human being having some wisdom, compassion, warmth, and understanding for others. This comes through in the video very well. I, for one am happy to see it.
Well brother Joseph, onward! I only hope that this serves to encourage you to continue in your efforts, and as you said in the video to share your experiences from your heart of hearts, your soul, as they will be attractive and endearing to those that come seeking Truth.
The continued Revelations of the Father's (ABBA) Truths of Love, Divine Love and Spiritual Truths is, and will be a continuing effort.
With much brotherly love in the Christ Spirit,
David

I have had a bit of a look around and I really like the site so far. The colour is warm and relaxing and is not too "busy" or distracting and is a good foil for the pastel colours in the pictures.
Are you treating it as a place where those who might not ever have heard of Padgett might turn up and be able to find out, bit by bit, about the messages, how they came to be and of course, how wonderful is the gift of Divine Love?
I was thinking that it might be good to give some details of how Padgett received the messages (automatic writing) but on second thoughts, what you have written is probably enough. Those who know, don't need to know again and those who have not heard of Padgett and the messages before could just have things unfold gradually, like a flower opening, rather than be put in a position of using judgement about such things as mediumship.
That is my first "impression" thoughts, I read the first two messages and will be back to read more. Are you doing excerpts? I just wondered, because sometimes when I read the messages I am drawn to certain paragraphs and think to myself, I really would like to remember those particular words, they seem to be the nuts and bolts of the message.

Your website is absolutely beautiful and biblical looking. Both Anna and I fell in love with it at first glance. Your presentation on video came across charming and inviting. You are the old man I desire to be when I reach your age. I enjoyed the passion you had for your finding of the Padgett readings.

I love, love, love your new website! It is very lovely to look at. When I was listening and watching your video, my eyes kept going up to that gorgeous picture. Joseph! I so very much enjoyed 'seeing you! I wished that I could just sit across from you and talk. You shine, dear Joseph. Divine Love is within and with you. I am so proud of you. Hugs to you, dear friend.

There are so many Divine Love websites now, but your's is surely a fresh and new way to make it interesting.
Joseph , what you have created is very appealing. I like the layout. I like the simplicity of it, also the simplicity yet warm, cosey approach of the video. The video messaging part is very important and engaging. Especially younger folks are more attracted to listening, rather the reading.
I came accross some who said its too difficult to read the old English in the messages. thus it would be helpful someone talking about the topics and they can read up in there own time.
I don't know what your ideas are as how to present the material, but if I may suggest, I would be eager to listen to you talking on a specific topic referencing underneath the video the different messages which I could look up and read in my own time. Say every week a new topic.
And maybe have a section where I can ask questions, you answer them or answer questions in your video. Oh yes, this is the way to make it interactive and engaging. I LIKE !!!!
Me - having the possibility of being a student (anywhere in the world) - listening to my teacher in my own time, in my own home and study THE Messages in a fun way.

I began to read the story you posted on your new site this afternnon. I am really enjoying it and as well am intrigued to learn how the rest of the story unfolds. I will make a point to finish it tonight ...
Wow. Wow. Wow.
I just finished reading your continuing story of Martin and hear within it my own story told.
You are a wonderful writer, sharing a wonderful message which is as well my own.
Thank you, Deb.

Hi Joseph, once again thank you very much for sharing the Divine Love and your insights about the prayer. It has helped me a lot in gaining further insights into the prayer and has brought me closer to God. Your talk about activating faith has helped me tremendously in praying and receiving the Divine Love through faith as one prays. I had such an inflowing of the Divine Love being aware of keeping my faith as I prayed. I am very interested in cds with this material. And I REALLY think that writing a book about your insights about the prayer as you mention on the videos will be a great benefit to the world, as your videos are. Thank you very much for this beautiful website I look forward to viewing the last 4 videos and hopefully more to come.
Blessings,
Jesper
