The Buzz THE BEST TEXT MESSAGE(s) Periodically, this past Summer I met with "kids" from the last "generation" of Bethel Express. After every occasion of meeting them, I always came away from that time feeling overwhelmed with joy due to the fact that they all had credited B.E. as the reason for their success. :-) Rather than write about each conversation, I thought that I would send you a few of the text messages that I received from them this Summer as well. Which do you think is the best one? (my answer is at the end). P.S.-Bear in mind that they were written in "text talk"; so, you have to excuse the grammar and slang. "Hey Mike, justa quik note to say that i love you and thx for making B.E. a family for me ". "Pop, im shootn you this text to say im doin good at my job and im getin a raise. Thanks to BEE". "Mike, i been thinkin bout all my blessins and decided to tell you im glad we had B.E. back in the day". "Mike maaan....praise God for B.E. We had the best times. Higher higher, spirit of elijah, can anything good come out the hood? I miss those days. Glad we had a chance tho". "Yo pop, i dont kno if anybody else has told u but...if we didnt have B.E. we all would have had toe up (messed up) lives. Bethel Express 4eva!!! Love u man". "Mike, Im makin good cake (money), ima start sending sum to B.E. I owe B.E. my life"!! The saga continues........ Oh yeah.....My favorite message? (Survey says....ALL OF THEM).
