What a great day to serve the Lord. Just received a book by Dick Hardy. 27 Tough Questions Pastors Ask. Just read the first three chapters and I already have to change a few things I am doing. It is such an easy read, but such
a challenging premise. I encourage any one to pick on up. I will be added more here later.

Yesterday was my 36th wedding anniversary and I had to spend it away from the one I love. My Mary was at home and I am here in Springfield at a council. I really missed being with her. I have had the most wonderful life with her. She is so intelligent, warm, and really funny. And she is so often misread by people who don't take the time to get to know her. I thank God everyday for such a wonderful wife. Anyway enough from me.
