I am making a big change in my life, for the better. It is not an easy one. The details are appropriately private, but it’s fairly ordinary human failure. It means letting go of unholy comforts and escapes, and allowing higher powers to carry me through the troughs of loneliness, fatigue, and occasional despair.
This is much harder than past challenges like getting into Oxford or writing about Q while being libelled in the national press. I have come to understand, via persistent fault, that there cannot be mind and body solutions to spiritual problems. The holy spirit is a thing, and I have ignored it to my cost.
I simply cannot write about righteousness and spirituality without putting my own house in order. I am all out of excuses. Hypocrisy disgusts me, and there is only so much “field research” you need to do to learn about the enemy’s ways of dulling the pain of trauma they inflict.
AU folk “get it” without the religious zealatory. Not grandstanding my woes, just real.
Martin, so many of us have come to 'know' you in ways we could not have, had it not been for the revealing from Holy Spirit.
YOU are treasured and loved as a Brother and AU family, yet so much more.
No religious zealotry here, as I left organized 'religion' over 20 years ago and have never looked back.
Amazingly, I know Him better and hear Him more now than I ever did while trying to do all the 'right' things, i.e. church attendance, membership, etc., etc.
He is alive and with us always, even to the End of the Age.
So very thankful and honored to call you Brother, and excited to see the promised vindication for all you and so many of us have suffered far too many years.
