No More I Beg of You
I got two more books in the mail yesterday and bid on one more last night (which I lost), and now it is time for me to take a break from my book buying. I received a copy of Thomas Guthrie's Out of Harness, which you'll see was on my booklist. I am really enjoying Guthrie and since I can't afford any Chalmers (it was a Chalmers book that I did not win), Guthrie will have to hold me over until a come upon a large inheritance from some distant relative of whose name I know not. The other book was Ronald S. Wallace's Calvin, Geneva and Reformation which was mentioned as a footnote in Wilson's chapter on parishes in "Mother Kirk." It seems good so far and is supposed to be about Calvin's use of the parochial system in his ministry.
For the next few months our family is going to be working on serving one another and trying to learn how to serve others as well. So far we are planning on going to a nursing home and other than that I am low on ideas and resources. If anyone could recommend any books or articles on serving, or has any ideas or experiences of serving others as a family, please let me know. Keep in mind that our children are very young and my wife is pregnant, so anything involving heavy lifting turns into "Christo" ministry and not "Family" ministry.
