Another reason I love authors

How cool is this? (I hope he doesn't mind.)

Dear Carolyn Reid,
In an attempt to maintain some control over my time (mostly futile, I admit), I do not use email. But I am borrowing this one to respond to you. It's an unmonitored address, for outgoing mail only, so please do not reply to this address.

If two of us think alike, there must be some truth there, right?! Thanks so much for writing such encouragement. I'm glad you haven't given up on the church. In many ways, I think it's more difficult to be a follower of Jesus in a place like the US than in China or Myanmar, where Christians never get confused with the prevailing culture. I share your concern, and am glad you have found a place of grace.
