I still don't know who's reading about Garison Fitch. I can check my account at Amazon and see that—this month—I have sold several copies of my books about Garison (and even a couple copies of the books about his grandson ["All the Time in Our World"]) but other than the one friend on Facebook who told me she bought a copy, I have no idea who these people are.

Yes, I realize that's SOP for most authors. John Grisham probably gets a lot of fan mail, but I doubt that he gets a letter from every one of the millions of readers each of his books have.

2.7.10 – Patience, a Divine Virtue (part 2)

OK, this is the second part of last Sunday’s sermon on the Promise and the Covenant made with Abram.

Look back at the ratifying of the covenant God made with Abram:

Genesis 15:12-16

1.31.10 – The Promise and the Covenant (part 1)

This morning’s sermon is, in some ways, a two parter. We’re going to look at an enormous event in Abram’s life (in Genesis 15) that impacts every one of us. In fact, it’s almost like all of human history is encapsulated in what happens here.

Genesis 14

I was reading about this passage and there have been some questions over the years. Who are these kings that are mentioned? There’s speculation that this Kedorlaomer may have been the famous Hammurabi, but others doubt that. All four of these attacking kings have names which are similar to names archeologists have found, but there are no exact matches.

How many of us look at the choices we have made in life and regret some of them? Sometimes these are big and sometimes they’re small. You were eating at the restaurant and you know that curry has an interesting effect on your digestion, but you chose it anyway. About midnight, you regretted that decision, but by morning you were OK (and thinking about eating the leftovers).
