This is beautifully written, and such a common experience we often don't want to talk about. I'm glad I'm not the only one rewriting sermons as they are being presented🤣. I hope you've sent it to Keith (what a gem).
Good word David. Thanks for being so transparent. A well known pastor went on a 21 day wilderness retreat designed to replicate Jesus' experience in the desert. He couldn't take anything--not even books to read. When he asked why he couldn't bring books, he was told, "We usually learn by adding more information. The desert teaches by taking away." You modeled that beautifully in this post. Thank you!

That's high praise coming from a writer! Thank you, Ashleigh! This deeply encouraged me. And yes, I'll make sure to send it to Keith!
Beautiful and heartbreaking, in the best way possible. We all have Keith stories, but this is one of the best. Miss you.
Thank you, Steve! Yes, what a gift that man is.

Thank you for reading and for the encouragement, Joe. “The desert teaches by taking away” - that is a good word!
