Dear Friend
This is the email I sent to folk on my “friends who might be interested” e-distribution list, following on from the previous one I sent at the beginning of June: (please let me know if you’d rather I remove you from the list). Please forgive this less than personal way of contacting you. If you wish to engage personally, feel free to email/call me, and share your concerns, news and prayer requests (so I can continue to pray for you). I blog on a whole range of subjects, some on Bible related themes, some on what is happening in the world (and lots is happening, often of a bewildering nature humanly speaking); some on things that interest me and might interest some reading this. I give click onable titles (at the end) of this letter of what I posted in my blog since sending out last time. I continue to reflect on world events from a watchman perspective and share what I find. (If you go to my website, you can sign up to be emailed notifications of new posts as they are posted – BUT note I often tinker to correct typos and add new thoughts – so maybe best to wait a day before checking out).
Shalom
