Hee hee. Just FYI, I continue to love your blog and read it regularly. I don't post many-a-comment, but am an appreciative member of your reading audience.

Thanks! Do the lectionary notes help at all, or am I just flapping my gums?
Posted by: John Petty | October 15, 2009 at 03:26 PM
Yes, it's helpful. I'm thrilled that you've gotten into all this translating business. It's good for you AND me. :)
You're knowledge of historical context is helpful, too. This week's sermon, for example, was already written when I read your notes, but I found some fabulous tidbits to enhance and strengthen what I'd written. (It was also kind of fun to discover we were going in the same direction with our thoughts...)

Thanks for the kind words. You might be interested in the post I put up today. I'm starting to become more aware of how my theology was really formed in the early 60's.
That's actually a cheering thought. Those were interesting times. Jazz and classical music were actually popular.
