I am so glad you are back here!! I am so glad to hear you have spent sooo much time with our God, the Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. God does ask for, or takes back the very most precious blessings HE has given us when we put them in His place in our lives. As Abraham knew God’s promises and blessings would be fulfilled through his beloved son Issac, his love for this special son; the miracle son that God had given him, had replaced God as his “first love”. To rescue ABRAHAM, God had to “put things back in order”…God is as merciful to us with our misplaced affections. Yes, even in the greatest of what HE has given us. God is AWESOME!!!
In His sufficient grace, Mark

I hope you had a good rest.
I never knew about your situation with your wife converting to the Catholicism. It must’ve been, and probably still very difficult and hurtful. I shall pray for you.

Shoot, I thought that was a homemade pic

Mucho amens on the voice mail bit. I hate voice mail with a white hot and unbridled passion. Mostly because people can rope you into something without giving you a choice of saying yea or nay.

I’ll be praying for you, Michael. Enjoy the chicken, the game, a chilly one. Heck, make it two.

Do you actually use a Moleskine? If you do, that’s totally awesome, as I love Moleskine notebooks (and I hope you can forgive this momentary lapse into fervent consumeristic brand loyalty).

As a loyal podcast listner, I really am thankful to you for taking the time to share your sabbatical insights and thoughts with us both on the blog and on the podcast – I know I’ve found them highly enriching on my own journey through the Evangelical Christian wilderness. I hope you’ll still find time to do more episodes of Coffee Cup Apologetics…

Thanks for sharing your journey with us. My prayer is, and I know your desire is too, is that Christ will continue to be exalted in your writing, preaching, teaching, and ministering.
