Thanks for your honesty Robin. sorry my comments weren't working. I finally figured out what the problem was. Thank you for reminding me of my intention - I am not excelling in this area the way I would like. But I have decided to read through exodus over the next month or two and reflect on it as we are going through it at the Mennonite Church. Hopefully having a little direction will help. I really like your ideas for the paper as well. Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't really published in that area specifically and I think you're right it would be good to get that down on paper in a coherent way before I move onto other ideas. Maybe write something that documents these early "findings" we've been talking about. Plus it seems sort of pastoral in a way, or practical and helpful. I haven't gotten my copy yet. I am excited to see it. Have you received yours? robin,

I will try again. First was that, honey, children will do that to you. Get used to it. Are you following through on your intention to spend more time with the bible in a devotional sense and not just a scholarly tool? Second, I had two good ideas for your paper that I can't quite remember now. Part of it was to update your writing about Quakers as a postmodern religion, because it would be good to document your growth in knowledge and understanding in this area. Part of it was to explain how Quakerism could be the answer to what so many people are searching for and how and why Quakers are failing to live up to that potential and to offer suggestions for what could be different. But it all sounded more coherent and better the day before yesterday. Oh and I wanted to ask if you got your copy of the October Friends Journal yet.
