I am quite sure you have been praying for Dr. Albert Mohler. I received this today from my seminary e-mail: June 22, 2006 Dear Friends of Southern Seminary, I write to thank you for your prayers for Dr. Mohler in recent days and to update you on his health. The corneal surgery Dr. Mohler underwent on Sunday, June 11th, appears to have been a success. While Dr. Mohler is experiencing varying degrees of pain in the cornea and that eye’s vision will remain very limited, daily the cornea is recovering from the surgery.

As a matter of fact, he changed a great degree of the focus of the project from the direction I was given a year ago. So, instead of writing another book review this afternoon and evening (which I must still do), I have been rewriting my project proposal. Stacy and James, if you are reading, don’t be worried. . . . Be very worried. Tomorrow will be a deciding day for me on the project. I have reworked my proposal and will shower extra carefully tomorrow so as to be at my persuasive best. Despite some of the tension of the class today, my wife Kelly and I had the joy of having lunch with Pastor Steve Weaver. Some of you who read this blog may know him from the very famous and substantive blog creatively entitled, “Pastor Steve Weaver’s Blog.” Steve is a humble and encouraging servant. He was just finishing a week of classes for his ThM in...
