Reminiscence No. 7
Recently Miss O'Hara spent some time on her blog to draw attention to a few of my older posts, the implication (at least as I inferred it) that she had been reading my archives. I like to think that everyone does that. My posts are not tied to current events and are therefore as relevant tomorrow as they were two years ago. Deep down, though, I know it can't be true. People just don't have time. That's why I sometimes like to feature some older posts that newer readers may have missed and long-time readers may have forgotten about. Here are a few from May and June of last year:
- I actually got to meet, face to face, three fellow Christian bloggers: Adrian Warnock, Messy Christian, and Mac Swift. This post describes our wonderful meeting, and offers links to the others' sites and their own descriptions (assuming their archives still work).
- I try to stick to one translation of the Bible, but sometimes I get a little mixed up. My confusion sometimes results in my memory merging different translations of a single passage with a bit of "according to Curt" stirred in. Here's how I Corinthians 13 (the Love chapter) exists in my own head.
- I take a stab at offering an answer to an important question: Why should anyone marry?
- It's important to have heroes and/or role models. My role models for marriage are my pastor and his wife, who last year celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary. It was my privilege for them to share some of their own thoughts on marriage here on this blog. If you read any of these reminiscence links, read the posts of Steve and Shelley.
- I spent three days on this blog talking about my heart trouble and the related hospital stay. Then I spent one more day talking about the man in the hospital bed next to me who had been married for 65 years.
