“I read about yesterday’s shooting first on The Christian Chronicle’s Facebook post. Prayers began then. I also was informed of the Tennessee churches (of which I am a member) and the trust funds for faithful congregations via the Chronicle. These are just a couple of instances where you touched my life.”

How my drinking became an idol

 

“My life was like a tragic play, with half of the audience unaware of my drinking, believing the image of a ‘saintly’ preacher’s wife. The other half knew I occasionally drank a glass of wine and felt comradery with me as a ‘sinner.’ Neither role was completely accurate or even genuine.”
