I have a tendency to over-write, so I’m trying to resist that tendency. And I certainly don’t want to write something that would seem to you like mere flattery. Yet, I simply can’t resist thanking you and praising you for your superb, eloquent, spirit filled sermon.
It blessed my heart so deeply, not merely because of the content of what you said, but because of the investment of your loving heart that you put in it.
Allison and I watched it twice Sunday morning just to be sure we didn’t miss anything because there was a lot to take in. But that’s what’s good about a banquet: you can always go back and have seconds…or thirds.
I’m sure we can all look forward to being criticized and persecuted for loving the truth, but as you and your father have said: it’s better to seem a fool than to be one.
God bless you John, for never wavering from the gift and the responsibility you’ve been given.

Thank you, Brad, for loving it. That is a cup of refreshment to me.
