<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> The other day while searching on
the web, I came across the name of "Brother Van." You will remember he is the
author of the song, "Harvest Time." Do a search for "Harvest Time." I had to
down load a "Scorch" process to get a FREE COPY. The words and music are exactly
as we sang it. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Since mid-November, I've been
serving as an interim pastor in a near-by village; the pastor is very ill.
We made the decision to do a Lenten series on the topic of the Book of
Revelation; something I've never done and did not look forward to ever doing it.
So far it is a good deep push for me intellectually and spiritually. I made the
decision to use "The Way Life Is" (ontological) metaphor to replace the
supernatural (Greek) two-story metaphor. It works wonderfully well, and people
are finding the message of Revelation is refreshing.
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Last night, I read again, Joe
Matthew's first talk on the Other World in, "Bending History." I was pleased
that over all these years, my theology is so heavily indebted to our common
history. </FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>

Book of Revelation intrigue you, send me an email at <A

for your reading and dialogue with me. </FONT></DIV>
