Best Behavior Now...
Ok. I've made an official invitation to a complete stranger to come chime in on stuff from time to time. Who knows if he'll take me up on my offer. I found his blog tonight while just stumbling around the huge blogosphere that seems to be growing exponentially by the day.
Jack H = Great writer. Man of faith. Deep thinker. Welcome here. ANYTIME.
So impressed, I added his blog (Forgotten Prophets) to my Blog Linkage.

If you don't read anything else on his blog... read this great poem.
My faith is lost in there somewhere I think.

Mercy ... why, is he talking about ME? The less I say, then, the better.... But being me, that's not possible. I do go on and on... Witness my response, to a comment and posting from Miroslav, here:

Notice how I refer to everyone except myself in the third person? Maybe I'll start doing that, for myself. "Jack is very touched by the kind words of Miroslav..."
Well, maybe not.
Hey, M, thanks.
Best,
J
If you are lost, cry out for the God with the pierced hand to grab yours again.He has always had to go the long way to save us. Crying out for help, is the best and only thing we have ever been able to do...but just as you are attracted to the cry and weakness of your daughter and son, so our God is moved by our need for Him.
WoOt! Big Props to Jack H.
Something about his writing style just gets me KAPOW right down to the heart. Anybody else or is it just me?
Thanks for the kind words my man.
First thought when reading the title to your entry:
"Who you callin' PigBoy mister?!"
Anonymous,
Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, definately that is the path moddled for us through Scripture. Job, Doubting Thomas, the woman who touched His garment, many others...
I'm just learning how to cry out to a God I don't believe in. For a time it just felt so utterly hypocritical to do so. But thats somehow changing now.
Thank you for your input.
Now now. Wipe them tears sista. I was simply respecting what I saw as a desire on your part to keep your website by invite only. Seeing as how you don't have it linked via your posting name... I figured thats how you wanted it. But now, viola! You've been added!
Oh, I get it ... everything's about YOU. Why don't *I* ever get to be Pigboy?
Pigboy Jack,
glad you finally got it. You should now come to a new understanding of why your life has seemed so insignificant all these years. ;D
I wish I could be as funny as the rest of you.. I'm just not hep enough.
Miro, I'm hanging onto your admission: "I'm just learning how to cry out to a God I don't believe in. For a time it just felt so utterly hypocritical to do so. But thats somehow changing now." I've been crying out to Him FOR you, as, obviously, others of your beloveds have. More than any other emotions, I'm excited abt your journey; a faith place way deep in me says it's all for good, that all will become VERY good.
Auntie Lamb,
Well, one thing is for sure. I can't be accused of being one of those luke warm types. So THAT is a good thing, yeah? ;)
I saw that Desiring God is on your reading list. I am just re-reading it too and thought of you last night (from page 37)
"Many of us have gone through a period of deep struggle with the doctrine of God's sovereignty. If we take our doctrines into our hearts where they belong, they can cause upheavals of emotion and sleepless nights. This is far better than toying with academic ideas that never touch real life. The possibility at least exists that out of the upheavals will come a new era of calm and confidence."
He goes on to describe Jonathan Edwards' struggle with this. The "emotional upheavals and sleepless nights" was what caught my eye LOL :)
I suppose this post would have fit better in the Mr. D post, but I put it here cuz it kinda coincides with your sweet auntie's comments. Along with Auntie Lamb, John Piper, and many of your readers, our prayer is that a new era of calm and confidence comes your way.
love to ya, bro
great quote there M2TSA. Thank you for the kind thoughts and your prayers!
