Journal: June 6, 2010

Yesterday, I was blessed with a wonderful visit from my dear brother, Don, and my friend in Christ, David Buck. They were very gracious to drive over 200 miles to see me. May the Lord bless them greatly.

Last evening, I spent two wonderful hours listening to sermons from 1 John which will complete my ThD this month, Lord willing. It has been a long road, lots of papers, lectures, and books. Then I will focus on writing two books—one on suffering and the other on what the Lord has done in prison—to His glory.

Today, after prayer for my children and family, I was able to go to the prison yard and teach our Greek class. The men are doing very well. Last Saturday, a dear saint on the yard went to be with the Lord. He collapsed and was taken away, but his soul is in glory! A service was held yesterday for him. Recently, a man named Joseph, sent his wife (not saved), Heather, a Grace Today. We were in hopes that she would try and attend but she is not interested. Please pray for her to come to know Christ.

I am preparing an upcoming violin/guitar recital calling it “From Bach to Beatles.” We will perform music of Bach, Puccini, Dvorak, and the Beatles. The guitarist is not saved; please pray for Patrick.
