this dear friend passed away tonight. we are grieving, but able to rejoice because of our faithful savior jesus christ (our only comfort in life and death).
A few months ago, When Walt and I last spoke (one of the few times we ever spoke) his message to me was similar. we spoke about the life and death of the martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He recommended that I read a biography that had recently been written by Eric Mataxes. I finally started reading it yesterday, and I'm two chapters in, and it's excellent.
Though I didn't know him well, Walt was one of those Godly men who spoke with humility and authority. When he said for me to check out the book, I set out the very next day to secure a copy.
I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."
