(This ain't Morganton.) Here are some of the attendees from the Dania Beach conference. (Click photo to enlarge.) |
Dear Friends, sorry for not writing in a while. This has been the first
opportunity, really. Well, I fudged a little there. I’ve had a couple
opportunities, I’ve just been exhausted. After the conference at Dania
Beach , I lost my momentum and
needed a break—from thinking, especially. (Thinking takes a lot out of a guy
like me.) I didn’t realize how tired I was from traveling and teaching and all
this gosh-darned cerebral activity. I’ve
been at it pretty much non-stop since the first weekend of December.
I’m
still in Florida , staying with a believer
named Bob Wigden, in Sarasota . Clyde
and the gang arrived back home about five days ago. I stayed on to see my son
play baseball in Port Charlotte .
It
has worked out pretty well, schedule-wise. Paul is leaving Ohio
an hour from now, to arrive in Port Charlotte here on
the west coast, tomorrow morning. His first game is Monday, and he plays at
least once a day through the following Saturday, so I will be here until then, watching every game. (Paul
is one of the starting varsity pitchers at Ohio Wesleyan
University in Delaware ,
OH. Pretty good for a sophomore.)
To
tell you the truth, I am looking forward to just watching baseball and not
thinking too much about the evangel. This means I won’t be doing the show for
another week. (But stay tuned, because Clyde III will be posting two shows Dan
Sheridan and I made in Ft. Lauderdale .)
Don’t
worry, folks. I’ll be back with a vengeance, refreshed, once I return to PA. I want to
spend most of the rest of the year writing, and hope to publish five more books
by the end of the year, some of which have already been in the hopper for
awhile. And of course I will still be doing the audio show five days a week. After I finish my commentary on Clyde's book, The Church in Ruins, I may be starting on the book of Revelation.
Thank
you for your patience. God arranged for every detail of this, so I’m riding it out. I realize now how much I've needed to unwind my mind. I do
miss the PA gang, but I’ll be back there soon enough, and back into the jaws of
winter, and into the jaws of proclaiming the evangel.
Some photos for you
For
now, here are some photos from the meeting in Morganton on February 29. I will
have many more photos from the Florida
meeting for you, a little later.
We
loaded two vehicles for Florida —via
Morganton , NC —on
February 29 at 6 in
the morning in the ice and snow. Naturally, 15 miles out of Windber, most of the snow was gone.
God bless you! I will post more Florida photos around the middle of the week.
