COMMENTARY: JANUARY CHRISTIAN STUDIES

Steve White presented four messages based on Genesis and one based on Joshua from the pulpit this month while John Lee presented four and Bill Furman one based on Psalms in the Vine and Branches Sunday School class.

I missed one Wednesday night but had a good dinner and attended a study the other three nights. Thursday breakfast devotions were led by me, Jack, Bill, and Chuck. Various scriptures were presented three times by Steve White and once by Bill Furman at our Friday morning Men's Prayer Breakfast.

Although I missed the monthly CDCMF meeting I did attend breakfast meetings at Chapel Rock and Kingsway churches.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME lswift8@aol.com

I have often been embarrassed by my ability to shed a quick tear when I am touched by some event: it happened Monday after I picked up the contents of my home mailbox:

the first thing I saw was a picture of Rubye and I sitting on a bench in Biloxi, MS and attached was some of my writings from books I had written and/or published include, “An Old Man On The St. James Way, Bout Furteen Country Childern Rimes” and A Swift: Not Jonathan. There were other pictures of the two of us taken in Virginia, Maine, Canada, and Rubye's home here in Plainfield, Indiana. There were other pictures in an envelope of me, my family, one of Rubye taken in my apartment in 1998. There were copies of some of my writings attached to the first five pictures I viewed. I was touched and now think I know who put these treasures in my mailbox. I think the pictures are all associated with songs I have on You Tube.

My day started with breakfast at Chick-fil-A followed by picking up my post office mail, getting some Paczki treats at a grocery, getting a haircut, and sorting tax related papers. Dan and Diana came by in the late afternoon for coffee and conversation. I had a great day.
