My friend Chris Prince came for a visit and a hike today. He left with my copy of Scripture Alone. It seems I have greater chance of him reading it than the other copy I purchased for your dad. He and I discussed today yet again how we are two fallen men who believe in Scripture alone and attempt to live it. It would be my joy to find a similar relationship with your dad.

It was really rather remarkable to me today when during our hike I slipped on the muddy path we were on. I caught Chris’ outreached hand with my right and the ground with my left, but my body got very near the ground but never hit. I know many my age or years younger that would have hit the ground hard. It was a big clue to me that I am, as I have claimed in the recent past, in the best physical shape I have ever been, perhaps in my entire life. Yesterday’s 4 to 5 mile hike, including hills, was only about an hour and came back without fatigue. So it is a reminder that I will probably be available for a long time to come. But remember I have always belonged and will always belong to only one lady, my wife. I love you!
