Pastor Meshach, I have some Dallas Willard books and some of my favorite pastor friends and others have known and been discipled by the man . . . but I can't read him. I've tried, but his prose is too dense for me, or maybe I'm too dense for his prose, which is more likely the case. But you and James Bryan Smith I can read. Praise the Lord for distillation discipleship, huh!
Distillation discipleship! I will use that from now on. There are a few authors I’m thankful for who have done that for me. And, yes, Willard would’ve benefited from a good editor. These philosophical have a bad habit of being too dense.
I am totally drawn into this writing as again it is clarifying my vision and desire to strengthen my relationship with God. It challenges me to thing beyond what I have always believed as truth and resulted in me reaching for God differently. This quote, "a form of learning in which one interiorizes the mind of a master through sustained engagement with their practices", caused a turning point for me. I am rejoicing because I am not settling for where I am because you have opened a new way for me to move forward with this incredible series. I was waiting anxiously for it. Blessings upon blessing to you! Thank you!

I’m so thankful. I was hoping these posts would be beneficial to others. Thank you, as usual, for sharing and being such an encourager.
I don’t understand all of it but it certainly gives me food for thought.
You definitely are a blessing in my life.
I’m going to write more clearly, Jean. Hang with me.
And you’re a blessing to me, too!
You and Jean are blessings to me!
