TruthSeekers


Me and the 'TruthSeekers'

I've been teaching Sunday school again -it's good to be back. The mega quantities of vitamins and green tea have driven away fatigue and stress. I've lost some weight and my blood pressure is looking good. Thanks for your prayers!

The 'TruthSeekers' are a very special group. It's silly to think that I'm teaching them anything -most are over twice my age. I think the important thing is to just spend time with them. I sense that this is the work that has been given to me.



We'll soon be starting a new series based on the new book by Max Lucado, "Come Thirsty". I'm really excited about studying and discussing this book. Here's an excerpt:

The teacher sat up a bit straighter, made a tent with his hands, and began to speak. "Stress signals a deeper need, a longing. We long to fit in, to make a difference. Acceptance, significance -these matter to us. So we do what it takes; we go into debt to buy a house, we stretch the credit card to buy the clothes...and life on the treadmill begins."
"treadmill?"
"Right, we spend a lot of energy going nowhere..."
