I am so glad to read that somebody else is posting here, and I am SO VERY GLAD that you are reading and for what you are reading. Wow, Pilgrim’s Progress. Probably the greatest book ever written outside the Bible. I have the audio version if you would like to borrow it. Audio books bore me to tears so if you want to borrow my copy, let me know. George Mueller, keep reading that kind of material. That is good stuff. I would encourage everybody to read the Puritan writers like John Owen, Richard Sibbes, Thomas Watson, John Bunyan, and I could go on and on. I would also encourage you to read books that are both “in the box” and “outside the box.” The former are easier for me and that is why I need the latter. The latter are easier for some of you and that is why you need to former. I have just finished Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. That is definitely “outside the box” for me. Some who may read this blog want me to say more but I will not at this point. Let’s just say that if jazz music is really music seeking resolution without finding it then that is where I am with reference to that book. I am told, however, that there is a genuine resolution to real jazz music so that there must be one to this book and my current internal responses to it.

Thanks for all who are posting on this site. I only hope that it is helpful to you. I hope that it gives you a place where we can talk together in a spirit of family about what God is teaching us in these days. I think this is so important. We are a divergent people but not a divided body. Thank God for that. I praise God daily, I really do; that He has given me the remarkable privilege of being where I am. I love FBC Waynesboro. It is a very special place with very special people. Those who would be critical of it just as well tell me that my grandbaby is ugly! I couldn’t get any more defensive of him than I do of us. And please don’t write and tell me that my grandbaby is ugly. If you think so just pray for him and ask God to make him to look like me. See ya Sunday. LOL, guess that means “lots of love” and not “leaving out lines.”
