Nothing like honest struggle ...

I was cleaning out my e-mail and ran across a link someone sent me to a blog. I think Timothy H. sent it to me. I decided to follow the link as I drank my first cup of coffee this morning.

The blog is called Real Live Preacher, and contains the musings of Gordon Atkinson, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in San Antonio. When I hit the About page, I followed the link to "The Preacher's Story," a posting he says was made once-upon-a-time when the blog was anonymous. It's a good thing, because some Christians can only take but so much honesty about struggles in "The Dark Night of the Soul." Some Christians also have a problem with colorful language, particularly when it is emitted from their pastor's mouth.

I wonder where Gordon was serving at the time ...

I encourage you to read "The Preacher's Story," because there is nothing like honest struggle in this journey with Jesus Christ.

But be forewarned: It's not for the faint of heart, nor the faint of faith.

Grace and peace ...
