I don't remember exactly when you said the words - sometime between the spring of 1997 and the fall of 1999 when you filled in for Dr. Siburt in one of his graduate ministry classes. At the time I was working as a nursing home social worker in Albany and Clyde and going to school full time. Since then I have been the minister at the Abernathy Church of Christ (just North of Lubbock). Some of the words you spoke that day have been invaluable to the ministry I've strived to have since coming here. Here's the gist of what you said that impacted me. You were talking about meeting with the worship committee each week to plan the coming week's worship time. You said that nearly every week someone would ask something like, "Do you like 'I Come to the Garden Alone'? Can we sing it?" "I usually answer, 'No', 'Yes.' No, I don't like that song. Yes, we can sing it...because Sunday is not about me." Those are words that I am reminded of nearly every week. I am thankful for those words and am glad that I found your blog. Blessings, Steve Mike,

You said that nearly every week someone would ask something like, “Do you like ‘I Come to the Garden Alone’? Can we sing it?” “I usually answer, ‘No’, ‘Yes.’ No, I don’t like that song.

I'll go check the entry date in my journal and try to guess which book it's from. (Sounds like Altar in the World, but I'm not sure.) Hope you're well, my friend. We still miss you in Abilene!

I read your blog and wanted to request an entry. My friend's uncle is currently in Haiti volunteering medical services to earthquake survivors. He is doing great work in Haiti and having many life changing experiences. I am writing you to request that you write about him on your blog. This would serve two primary functions. 1) He is in need of more sponsors for his work. His church is accepting donations on his behalf to fund his work in Haiti. Their mailing address is: Campus Church of Christ, 1525 Indian Trail Lilburn Road, Norcross, GA 30093 (Please attach a note indicating that the contribution is for Randy Moore: Haiti mission funds). Also, he recently added a charitable donation link to his website: www.missionpeople.org 2) This would help raise awareness about the ongoing needs of this community. People can learn more about his work on his blog: http://www.ramoolive.blogspot.com/ If you write about him please share his blog link. Thanks! Tiffany Hi Preacher Mike,

There is a lot of meaning packed into these words. I think my favorite is the quote from Merton. It is so incisive, cutting to the heart of what really matters about us as humans, and what doesn't.
