Letters

Last night i took a break from writing about how awful the current book i am reading is and picked up a book i bought recently. It is called Letters of Charles Haddon Spurgeon. It is a compilation of hundreds of letters written by the pastor to all kinds of people. I read it with the same joy and voracity as i read Frost's poems. It was good for my soul, and i loved reading what Spurgeon had written to encourage his loved ones to press on and grow in the faith of their Almighty God. Writing letters was a central ministry of Spurgeon's. I'm bad at being consistent, but i want to be a letter writer too. I'll try to write a God-centered letter a day to my friends, family, students, missionaries, ect... and use that as part of my ministry. On a secondary note, if you all aren't done thinking and talking about the last post, the discussion is continued (and furthered) on the Wenzel's blog, so please check that out.

do you have the venerable Rutherford's letters? Wait...you have the condensed Puritan paperback one at least, right?
