I did leave a message at your weekly and then had trouble getting back on, now I now why. Ken I am heading to Boston Tuesday, keep up the good work will check out the blog when I get back.<br />Whenever I travel like this, 10 hour of driving I wonder if I will make it back in one piece that's when I think about God and am I really ready to meet my maker if something were to happen? Am I good enough?Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876005511404859259.post-257714410990589252010-09-02T12:05:14.177-04:002010-09-02T12:05:14.177-04:00Gary, I don't really have a blog.

I do write a bi-weekly column for a paper called Lowcountry Weekly, and I believe you left a comment there a week or so ago, right before our website crashed and was down for about a week! When we finally got it back up again, all the most recent comments had disappeared. Really sorry about that! (We still haven't figured out what happened, exactly.) Here's a link to my latest: http://www.lcweekly.com/rants-a-raves/1745-learn-grow-change.html<br /><br />I used to blog on the same website, but I got a little burned out. It was very time consuming, and along with serving as editor of Lowcountry Weekly, I have a young daughter at home. Plus, the topics I'm really interested in blogging about (mostly faith-related) just aren't compatible with an otherwise secular newsweekly... I've been toying with the idea of starting something new, but haven't mustered the energy. I tend to treat my Facebook page like a blog, anyway!Margaret Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692860243550948747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876005511404859259.post-258047248809492372010-09-01T22:36:39.072-04:002010-09-01T22:36:39.072-04:00Hi Ken, Hi Margaret.

Forgive me for using your blog but I was wondering if Margaret do you also have a blog of your own?Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876005511404859259.post-86832426085583625702010-09-01T22:24:06.375-04:002010-09-01T22:24:06.375-04:00Hi Scott.

I don't know if this a good argument but former Watergate felon Chuck Coulson was lead to Christ after reading Mere Christianity and went on to form Prison Fellowship which helps convicts return to a normal life.Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876005511404859259.post-24783070933125834442010-09-01T06:50:27.350-04:002010-09-01T06:50:27.350-04:00Scott, I highly encourage you to read the book!

And keep Lewis' warning in mind: "A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading."<br /><br />Meanwhile, I am loving this step by step journey through the book that changed MY mind... and my life.
