The video I did over the weekend has brought joys and concerns. It has been remarkable to me how much grace the Lord has shown me to responds to people’s wrath with reasonableness and love. It is one thing to take the foulness thrust upon you and another to be able to not have wrath within you in response. It is clearly not of me, but a gift to me. I do wonder what it would be like if someone close to me would return to the table. The silence is the hardest form of wrath.

There is also the concern that the command of the Lord to prepare my kids to be able to engage people as I have done is being denied to me. You obviously know that I will not turn to the state. However, consider the video I just released. It is clear that I am not a polished presenter. Consider the depth of the content. I hope you can see that I don’t play fair, I use the Scripture as written and that does not go over well with those who deny it or twist it. I’m also not after winning at any cost, but pursuing the truth and keeping grace forefront. There is also a greater grasp of what it is to contend or “agōnizomai”, and to proclaim clearly, boldly and openly or “parrhēsia”. This is my plan for this month as we approach the anniversary of the police visit. Many know about it. Lord willing, a whole lot more will know about it around the end of the month. My hope that in the process there will be celebration with at least one person, a celebration of reconciliation. This is what I plan on pursuing. It would be wonderful if it was a shared goal.

Dorothy-Jane, I love you, and I’m planning on letting the world know. That is what a man who loves his wife does.
