Hi Wanda
I had an earlier email today to advise me that there were a few new subjects within the Elvis The Man section of the Lighted candle website. One was a letter typed by Elvis in about 1974. It took me a while to read as was a 6 page letter including some handwritten notes at the bottom.
I understand you had received a copy of this along with some others Elvis would have been comfortable with sharing such subjects he had discussed in the letter.
What can I say but Wow! Knew Elvis to be such a special and spiritual, open minded guy but the letter reveals so much more than I have ever heard about his thoughts and feelings on so many things.
His faith and sincerity were very touching and with some of his words I was in tears. Not out of sadness you understand? Also, there is a certain situation in my life just now which is really tough and frustrating to deal with. However, contributing to this Forum has been helpful and provided a springboard to bring my thoughts to. Also I wanted to help people and have posted some items in an effort to inspire over the last week or so. Not sure if I succeeded but I guess at least I tried!
The point I'm trying to get to is, that there were some words Elvis used about being positive and negative, faith and belief etc that truly 'spoke' to me and seemed to come just at the right time. Guess sometimes that happens though?!
You seemed so very much on Elvis' level regarding his life and spirituality, how wonderful it must have been to know, talk to and get a chance to understand him regarding his deepest thoughts, ideas and views on life.
Thank you for sharing so much with us!!!
All the best - Sue/White Swan, January 2006, England

Everything that Sue said spoke my heart. I just got done reading this letter--and it brought tears to my eyes. I was VERY moved by this. I will read this every time I am down and need some uplifting. To say that Elvis was incredible is an understatement. I am speechless. He's so awesome.

Hi Wanda:
I would like to thank you so much for sharing this and your other information with us. I, too, have learned so many things in the past week than I ever have learned about him. You are a very lucky woman to have known him and to converse in the way that you did with him.
God Bless!!

Hi Victoria
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings about the new letter too. Great to know that Elvis' words had such a positive, uplifting effect on you also. Very powerful and profound.

Awesome and incredible to be sure! All he left us in his music and versatile entertainment legacy to enjoy including that gorgeous God-given voice! Not to mention that smile and laugh!!!
Elvis remains to this day a great source of inspiration and I honestly believe that he would get such a great kick out of knowing he still helps us through his voice and words, wouldn't he just love it?! 
Best wishes and blessings
Sue

Wheww what a Letter, I have never read the Depth about Faith and Prayer has insiteful as how Elvis put them into Words. I have been recently having Doubts about Faith, but after reading this Letter and how even though Elvis at times had his own Doubts, he still kept on Praying that the Lord would help him to Renew his Faith. So I know if Elvis could keep his Faith when things in his Life seemed so Bad, I know I can to. Thank You Elvis for your Words to Live by, and Thank You for the Link to this Letter RainbowLight. FairyTale!
