what blogging as BROUGHT me!

As I usually do, early this morning, I’m drinking my coffee (Just Us Italian Roast, freshly ground and brewed), overlooking the Kennebacasis River (this pic took this morning!), and reading Oswald Chambers’ daily devotional, My Utmost For His Highest, meditating on today’s punchy statement, “The Spirit of God unearths the spirit of self-vindication.” With my eyes I notice the deer in my back yard eating the raspberries (this pic also took this morning!). Beautiful benediction! In my heart and mind I express gratitude for this blog and what it has BROUGHT me (Darren Rowse at over “ProBlogger” has a post on “Look What Blogging BOUGHT Me.”… I wish!). I feel grateful for those of you who make comments and challenge me. Last night, I was told: “I don’t believe much will come of your reading of Harpur if you are not prepared to engage it with an open mind.”, and: “Unfortunately, Harpur’s perspective appears to set you in a defensive posture and this is unfortunate.” I hear you, and on this beautiful morning, I take it as the Spirit of God unearthing my spirit of self-vindication. So, thanks.
