Something to ponder over the next few days.<br /><br />Just wanted to add that although I don't comment frequently, I do read regularly and I wanted to thank you for sharing your insights, John. They have been by turns moving, thought provoking and inspirational. Your experiences are so relevant to the idea of Zion - what it means and could mean to be of one heart, one mind, and to truly have no poor among us. God bless you and yours.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382259353348066309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018387523779914474.post-14909876900895020152011-10-16T16:55:55.099-05:002011-10-16T16:55:55.099-05:00I really want to read that book.

Reading what you write and having met you I really see that you live that. If there is anything that we should internalize and use as a guiding principle that is it.Kileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598910475787952773noreply@blogger.com
