I believe you. Why is it a matter of interest to you? Will finding out move you closer to listening to Jesus or closer to putting me down? Please continue being frank with me.

You live like a teenager. I live like an old man. I don’t typically use the drive thru at any restaurant. Over the past 10 years - that is, since my retirement on August 1, 2016 - I’ve probably used a drive thru no more than five or six times - and only twice when I was the driver. (I didn’t...

Yes. Three weeks ago I gained a new friend from it. Her husband wound up doing some carpentry work for me in my home.

I’ve got to step away for a couple of hours but this is something that you need help with.

All social interaction is a relationship.

I’ve known that from the beginning. What I didn’t know is whether or not that would change. I still don’t know, but I know now that it hasn’t yet.

Thank you. And you mine. Our relationship has recently changed. Consult your non-pastor advisor(s).

No. I’m a retired pastor. My pastoral ministry continues, and will until I die, but not from the pulpit in the small congregation of believers whom I served. Even if it did, you don’t trust and respect me. I gave you good advice.

If you agree that they do, then you don’t need me to answer the question for you.

I’m living a decent life without hurting anybody and not facing oblivion knowing that I’m not wrong in doing so. What is the difference between you not hurting anyone and me not hurting anyone, between you facing oblivion and me not facing oblivion?
